Awesome video, Don and Bob. Here in Brazil expanding frequency is trivial, because local regulations and bands allow it. Thanks for explaining. I never seen another brand to do this. From Hams, to Hams.
thanks for the teardown, i was scared watching the philips used as a pointer/lever! consider using a toothpick to reduce the risk of scratching components if you slip
It's really interesting to see inside the 75, so thanks for that 👍 It's slightly hard for me to watch though! The lack of proper tools (the screw heads are JIS not Philips) and fingerprints everywhere are triggering my OCD 😂
JIS stands for Japanese Industrial Standard. The screws are designed not to strip when using a JIS screwdriver. Phillips may work but greater risk of stripping the screw.
I have a D-74 and really like it. Looks like everything KENWOOD wished they had put in the D74 they put in the D75 LOL. Great radio but, not worth $700+. Thanks for the show.

If it is not broken then take it apart and fix it. Great video Don! I have a new respect for the build quality and durability of this radio.
I've got a new SMA connector for my D74 on the way. Thanks for showing how it's done!
Glad to help. It is the same.
Another excellent video Don and Bob. Thanks so much for taking the time and initiative to share this. '73 K5ZF

Dare we say, after seeing the outstanding build quality of this unit, that it’s worthy of the hefty price tag?

@@TheRealPlato I have since added Japanese Phillips screwdriver
WOW. You are very brave to do this breakdown video. Thank you!
So when's Kenwood gonna do a mobile version of the 75? Like a TM-D750G. We want it, Kenwood!

This was a field operation never heard of a JIS.

glad you like the 74
you forgot to clean the fingerprints off inside the screen.HiHi
I bet you could mask the screen with plastic cling film to keep fingerprints off while it's exposed
I bought a D75 as a spare to my D74. Now if only I could hook my D75 to a tablet for APRSdroid via USB-C instead of Bluetooth...
Can not pair with iOS. Android is ok and will work
QTH app works great on macOS over Bluetooth to TH-D75. I use it for APRS satellite passes
