Home Kenwood Announced new TH-D75A

[Moleculo]

Today at Hamvention 2023, Kenwood announced and is showing the new TH-D75A 2m/220/440 handheld radio.

Features are largely the same as the TH-D74, but the new radio adds built-in Digipeater capability for APRS, as well as a USB-C for data transfer and charging. Details are just emerging; price and release date are unknown at this point.

Already saving money for one. Hopefully the battery will last longer than the D74.

Wow no way I would pay that for an HT that can be easily lost or stolen.

Have you seen the prices of used TH-D74 on ebay?

Based on the success of the TH-D74, they will easily sell tons of them at whatever price point they want. There is no other HT that has that rich of a feature set. I just hope the internal HF antenna for AM broadcast works better on the new model.
