Do any of the Kenwood models have the equivalent of mixed mode where it will receive analog and digital on the same channel? TNX.

Yes. As do the Icoms.

NOW he tells me.

Yeah, this F3261 isn't exactly impressing me with its receive sensitivity. And the more I delved into it the older were the posts about this specific model, so I was as puzzled as you.

the older 3161/4161's are notorious for blown finals, when that happens, you only get about 1/4 watt out, the driver power.
im pretty sure the 3261/4261s are based on the same RF design.

I have a spare 4261 and i keep it as low of power as possible when talking to minimize the chance of killing the final.

my main NXDN radio now is a Kenwood NX5300, a much better choice than any icom portable.
