So what is the coolness of this system?
I can work coast to coast on low power in my car. In fact, I can work the world from my HT
(Handheld Transceiver) in the car or from a hotel room with this simple setup. As long as I
have mobile cellular service.
I can have access to the world of D-STAR network.

I know it is hard to visualize this, but go to my videos at
https://www.youtube.com/user/w6gps,
There you can see all this in action. In all my 40 years as a ham I have had even more
excitement using the KENWOOD TH-D74A/E on the D-STAR network. I have meet many
new hams worldwide without enduring SSB noise.
For you veteran D-STAR users try not to make more things complicated. It is easy with the
TH-D74A/E. For my new D-STAR KENWOOD’s TH-D74A/E users, take your time and get
on the air.
While you’re waiting for verification and registration on the D-STAR radio, get familiar with
the many different features of the TH-D74A/E. If you’re an owner of the TH-D72A/E or
TH-F6A/F7E this radio will be very familiar.
