I am contemplating the purchase of a new dual band HT. I have
narrowed my decision to either the Yaesu FT-60 or the Kenwood TH-G71.

I would be interested to hear your views on the two, to help me
decide. Thanks.

The Kenwood is a bit larger, IIRC, 200 channels, can do 6W VHF, 5 UHF
with 13.8V. Frequency range for RX seems about the same - no, I take
that back, the Yaesu has 200 mhz. The Yaesu has 1000 channels. I just
picked up the 60 yesterday, too soon to make a decision / expert
opinion.

PS: Does the FT-60 have computer programming capability?

Yes.
