THANK YOU
THANK YOU
Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TH-F7A
transceiver. It has been developed by a team of
engineers determined to continue the tradition of
excellence and innovation in KENWOOD
transceivers.
First, don’t let the size fool you. This small FM
portable transceiver features 2 m and 70 cm amateur
radio band operation plus another all-mode 100 kHz
to 1.3 GHz receiver (SSB and CW are up to 470
MHz). In the meantime, as you learn how to use this
transceiver, you will also find that KENWOOD is
pursuing “user friendliness”. For example, each time
you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see
a text message on the display that lets you know
what you are configuring.
Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically
sophisticated and some features may be new to you.
Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from
the designers. Allow the manual to guide you through
the learning process now, then act as a reference in
the coming years.
