I can tell you more later, but for now I can tell you that they got rid
of the alphanumeric paging feature that was in the 78A. Seems like it
never caught on with many of the other HT makers.

Well, if you stop to think of it, one of the reasons the Japanese
manufacturers have been able to build lots of HF and VHF gear is
because they are shipping to worldwide markets. The Japanese
domestic market has 1,000,000 operators licensed and about half
that number of station license holders. So, it is arguably the
largest ham market in the world, right? Ah.......but in Japan,
the 220 MHz band is used by commercial TV broadcasting ..... so,
there is no 220 MHz ham band there. I believe the same "may" be
true for some European markets (i.e. Sweden?).
So, without a huge market demand for 220MHz gear outside of
Japan (i.e. the USA), I wouldn't look for much more in the way
of new gear coming from Y/K/I (IMHO).

Subject : Re: Kenwood TH-79A
I don't think kenwood overlooked the lockout feature for scanning. In
their info sheet on the HT, the scanning channel lockout was printed.
Later Kenwood sent a mod sheet for their info sheets to delete that line
(with a black pen). So it looks like kenwood had every intention of
putting that feature in there, but some how it got left out at the last
minute. Just thought I'd let you know.
