Great video, your ham shack is what dreams are made out of very nice
looks like great radio. thanks for reviewing. 73
you are what they call a good all-rounder, thank you for your trouble.best regards from the UK
Fantastic detailed REVIEW on this KENWOOD TH - D74A that you did in the NEW QST ARRL MAGAZINE for April.
Well done (especially for me on using DV & DR) on many fronts and the statistics sheets. I see you shared billing
with the ARRL assistance fellow. Again you did a first class job and I'm really glad you did!
Thank you for your feedback. 73 Pascal VA2PV
Awesome looking radio. I'll check out the second video later. Great review. AA1US.
Wow! Great video my friend. I just got this rig a few months ago and finally have a chance to pull it out of the box and play with it. I look forward to seeing the firmware upgrade video. Take care and 73, de KD7SJT
Thank you for this great review 73s LB7VI
Tnx for posting this video... really good walk-thru in operating this radio..... LM
Awesome vid. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos.
Thank you! 73 Pascal VA2PV
Nice review. Thanks!
very nice looking radio! i'd love to see a video where you are out and about using it, reviewing the audio quality and how well it gets out. 73!
wow Thanks for this amount of information and it's A LOT for a radio.
Your welcome, thanks for watching. 73 Pascal VA2PV
Very helpful! Thanks.
Thanks for watching. 73 Pascal VA2PV
Does this radio come with software installed such as talk groups and nationwide and statewide and worldwide.
Well done - made it seem a LOT easier. Thanks from a new OLDER ham with a general ticket - W6COP\AG - San Diego County, CA. I'm guessing you are up in Canada. WE LOVE Quebec, Ontario, Vancouver, and Calgary (Lake Louise).
I have spent 12 weeks in the ham books and then bought this TH-D74A puppy. YOU made it easier for me.

Hi Steven, thanks for the good comments. I'm in Montreal (Quebec). 73 Pascal VA2PV
Good place.
Love Quebec and the history. The DNA maternal ancestors include John the Fearless Duke of Burgundy - and that 250 French Kings Valois dynasty.
My Knight family came from your area too in the early 1800s. My top DNA blood hit leads back to George Knight, Valley Field, Quebec - b. 1834.
I even Registered our Tri-Color Springer Spaniel - "Tiffany of the Valois" (say it tough and loud like the French do!)
I love the way you make things so easy to grasp - the entire radio is extremely drop down menu orientated.
You made the radio come alive for me. I am waiting for the programming software and the extra keep it separate laptop: Dell Windows Pro 7 for my 2 meter - DV Access Point Dongle from HRO. My club PARC has a large number of repeaters.
I have the micro usb cable and the quick charger and micro disk arrive tomorrow too.
Keep in touch.

That was an interesting demo. I was on the fence about getting one. That's more ht than I need but a great replacement for my TH F6A. I always liked the idea of being able to listen to HF SSB/CW on a little hand held unit.

Hi Barry, thanks for watching. 73 Pascal VA2PV
hook the THF6 up to an external antenna and it helps bring in HF. used it all the time with a dipole while camping in yellowstone
What would be a good Bluetooth Headset for the Kenwood TH-D74A ... ?
nice video thanks
73
Thank you for watching, 73 Pascal VA2PV
Nice. Been struggling with setting up TH-74. MAYBE I CAN HOOK UP ON DSTAR OR ECHO LINK. Will look for your other postings...can not see your link to your programming thr TH-74. thank you.
You Rock! Thanks for the walk thru. Just got D74 today. Love it so far. At home got it working on hotspot. Question: So when I leave home what is the fastest way to have it find DStar repeaters around me and set it on them. Could you make short video? I am new to DStar also so the from / to on repeaters has me stumped. Thank You. Steve
Hi Steve, check my configuration video about this radio, I'm showing how to setup the radio to use the GPS to locate D-Star repeater. 73
How to create a memory for example Airband to scan. Thanks.
Somewhat clear, but I'm a newbie and am still quite lost. Is there anyone that can program my TH-D74 for everyday usage in grouping for my Hawaii Home and Orlando Area home Locations (and I do a lot of travel, as well).
KC1JQX I just purchased that radio I have a lot to learn thank you for the video
thank you for this review Pascal I will checkout your second video I am tempted to purchase this radio best 73 from England de G0UDG
Great radio, you won't regret it. 73 Pascal VA2PV
Laboenligne. Hi Pascal I now have this radio and need to set up the D-Star not much help at all in the manual supplied with it as I'm disabled with short term memory issues it's not easy The radio is well built loving the colour screen 73 from Staffordshire England de G0UDG
Hi Kevin, hope my videos can help. Thanks for watching. 73 Pascal VA2PV. Also see my website for more information. www.va2pv.com
Does this HT have the NOAA frequencies preprogrammed, and is there a button to easily access them? WB2VGD
Yes.
Very useful video thank-you! I wonder if you would still buy this radio today in 2021? Interested in your thoughts.
The answer is yes.73
Many thanks for your info videos 73 DE ISØAGA
Can it rx and tx 40m? Or just rx?
Is Kenwood going to offer a replacement for the TH-D47? Sounds like everyone loves this radio, short of the price and battery capacity. I am a ham "newbie" tech and the radio is probably way too sophisticated for my current knowledge level, but you make it sound a lot easier than I imagined. I would rather spend a few extra bucks and have something that I can grow into rather than buy a succession of radios to keep up with my interests and learning curve while leaving a trail of deprecated equipment along the way. Terrific video - thanks!
Seems like nearly all us guys are relegated to the basement LOL !
Does this have a smart charger in that you can leave it plugged in all the time?
Yes. 73
Anyone know how to get the radio out of dual monitor mode?
Yes, press (F) and then "dual A/B". 73 Pascal VA2PV
Will the radio receive in dvhf
mode
No, DV mode is only available on TX band. In HF you have AM, FM, CW, LSB and USB. 73
The screen is very close to being a small 990s I wish we had the abiotic change the font 😂
What about cross band on analog on th D74, DV8AW,73
Good question, I think it's possible but not sure. I quickly check and couldn't find it, maybe it's a function while turning on like other Kenwood radio. 73 Pascal VA2PV
Thanks 73 DV8AW
They stopped making it.. Just saw a 1800 dollar og d74
Please send it to me! Ill love ya forever
This is al still in Chinese for me...Don't get me wrong, this is a good video for the radio amateur community, not for a novice, you are going wayyyy too fast without explaining what is what or the reason why for the setting. EVERYONE online explains and fly through the menus setting the radio but no information of what the settings does or why the reason of that setting, or where to start first...I have read the manuals and they are not much help either..it only tells you how to navigate and change functions on the radios but not the specifics to said functions, like, everyone expects that a novice grabs a radio and knows automatically what every single term means or what it is used for, it is frustrating as I am try to learn the differences between everything for this radio and an icom ID-51A; I just got this one because of the APRS feature which to my understanding is good to have to take the radio to remote places, in my case I like hiking in desert areas and it would be nice to have a means of communication in case of an emergency, not sure if this radio or any radio would work in a remote place but that is why I got the ID-51A and now this one; I got my license over 2 years ago but then after all this time and 2 radios including this one, I have not yet call out my call sign! I do not know the lingo, so when I am working in the radio I have no clue what I am doing or why! KI7CSI
They missed the boat with DMR. DStar is dying.
Jason Rausch
..... as it should be! You are right. DMR would have been far more useful.
Your comment shows your lack of knowledge about Dstar.
Dstar is my preferred mode over DMR.
Ehy Man,too much money for this radio.Orly for rich
