The latest Kenwood HF & all mode transceivers also cover the new allocations at 5MHz.
HF + 6metre Base Station / Mobile: These Kenwood transceivers provide many of the same basic capabilities as the base station only transceivers, but they are smaller so they can be used in a mobile environment. They provide a cost effective solution for base station and mobile operation, but naturally the performance is not as high as the base station only rigs.
VHF / UHF Mobile: These transceivers from Kenwood are intended for mobile or base station use. They typically operate on one or more of the VHF / UHF bands with 2 metres and 70 css being he most popular. They typically operate using FM although some digital modes are possible.
VHF / UHF Handhelds: Kenwood manufacture a number of very good handhelds for VHF and UHF. Within their range are single and multiple bands, 2 / 70 handhelds are the most dual band offerings, although many more variants are available. Also in the range there are handhelds with a variety of capabilities, appealing to all amateur radio operators.
