I highly prefer the Kenwood Menu system.... it was
much more intuitive to use compared to the Yaesu radios.

I was just looking at those very two models after getting
my callsign (KE7GKP) just yesterday.

I just bought the Yaesu this afternoon and am still reading
the book. The Yaesu was recommended very much in
preference to the Kenwood by the guy at HRO in Portland.
He claimed the opposite, that the menu system of the Yaesu
was simple enough that he needed the book only once every
vew months, but the Kenwood he never could manage.
Go figure? :-)
