JVC is owned by Matsushita Electric Industrial Company. Kenwood to merge with JVC next year (Jun 25, 2007) - This Week in Consumer Electronics (TWICE) reports that Kenwood has agreed to merge in 2008 with Victor Company of Japan (JVC) under a holding company. I have no idea what Vertex-Standard's business plan is with regard to Yaesu. The forthcoming IC-7700 is a perfect example-quite a rig but with little more operating flexibility than an IC-718. But the pricier Icoms suffer as a result of their multiple missions from not having true dual receivers. Icom is somewhere in between Kenwood and Ten-Tec, with its offerings generally being adapted from Icom commercial/military platforms but with clever redesigns that do not directly suggest their provenance. But neither of those excellent transceivers would be a candidate for sale to commercial/military buyers because their circuitry is specifically engineered for hams.

The new Elecraft K-3 appears to be a knock-off of the design of the Ten-Tec Orion and presumably will arrive with fewer software glitches. Unfortunately, for HF operation, ham radios need to be engineered quite differently from commercial/military transceivers due to the extreme conditions under which hams operate-low power, limited antennas (by comparison) among them. So I guess it is a cross-breed from a commercial model.įrom a financial viewpoint, Parton's explanation makes a lot of sense. It's got a very legible LCD panel and a quality appearance and feel to it. I have a very good Kenwood handheld, the TH2-KAT. "The business model of Kenwood is one platform for all markets with the only difference being firmware."Īha! That explains it. Leave Amateur radio and don't look back.Goddamn Asian SOB's Let it hit you, and I hope you get a serious bruise no the coccyx. Leave now and don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
Get out stop flooding the market with inferior quality products. As far as Kenwood leaving the amateur business, let them go. I will do all in my power to discourage anyone I know from purchasing one to. My bottom of the barrel Alinco handhelds are far superior in all facets to this junker. A cross-breed from a commercial model? If kenwood's comercial models have the same low quality soup can on string, tinny, cheap 25 year old radio shack scanner quality audio as this lemon of an ht(th-k2at) does, than all public safety agencies that use their comercial equipment will be putting their officers at risk. The th-k2at a good radio? This thing is nothing more than a glorified FRS radio.
