I will be getting my tech license shortly and was originally trying to decide what dual band (2 meter/70 centimeter) to buy but have decided not get a 2 meter only because of the costs involved. ( I'm retired and on a fixed income ) I'm down to three choices, Kenwood TM-281A, Yaesu FT-1900R and the Yaesu FT-2900R.
I'm leaning towards the Kenwood because of the ability to program the radio with my computer and I don't see where that is possible with the Yaesu's. I know that the FT-2900R has internet capabilities but I really am not interested in that. Any suggestions? How good is the Kenwood? I like the fact that it has more power for simplex that the FT-1900. Thanks in advanced for any advice.
