I have the Kenwood TS520....caused me no end of issues in the HT cage but since changing the bottles and neutralising them been very nice to use. 73 de VK2AOE

Get a mobile phone!

Haha :-)
Well amusingly, the manual says that, with the 12 volt option this radio can be used mobile (what, really?) and in voice mode it does do telephony. So, maybe, it could be called a 'mobile phone'? People were obvoiusly a lot stronger in the 70's! However, think I'll stick to my Motorola for everyday use. Cheers
