The rubber duck antenna does work, but is rather limited. You should be
able to receive audio, depending on your location and what is near you. You
can pick up local radio stations for testing purposes by typing in the
frequency.

I enjoyed your review. I am considering purchasing one of these radios. I
have been a ham now for over 12 years. Are you able to share the plans for
the home brew antenna you talk about in your review? Thank you
The antenna was a project that was done by the Rochester amateur Radio
Association, so I don’t have any plans on the antenna. Unfortunately I
don’t have the antenna either, as it was misplaced during our last move.
Sorry. 🙁
So, where is the TH-F6A review? All I saw was an advertisement for the guy
that sells the BNC adapters. A radio review usually includes performance
numbers as well as personal observations.

Try switching to the other channel.
Where did you buy yours at? For how much?
I’ll check it out. Thanks!
I definitely recommend the TH-F6A. It’s a trusted product that does
everything that I want it to do. I really don’t know much about the Icom.

Regarding your charging complaint, the aftermarket has addressed this
issue, due to the huge popularity of this radio: check out batteriesamerica

@g4tech He’s a HUGE help when it comes to programming. 🙂
Can it automatically scan?
Thanks. When I click ENT, and start typing in freq 104.7, for our radio
station, it just reverts to 137
Cool, I would like to see how much frequencies you would get with the pvc
antenna. Have a good one.
