Expect to pay 100-150 dollars for a good one that is clean with accessories.ġ. All in all it's a good, basic dual band HT with excellent performance and a good starter HT. The radio while built very well lacks O-ring seals on the main body and controls, so you should keep this in mind if using it outdoors. The only downside to this HT are CTCSS decode will only work on ONE band when in dual RX mode, but you can select which band you want CTCSS decoding on. 10 memories per band + 1 call channel on V and U plus direct keypad frequency entry. It has a standard BNC antenna connector, and Kenwood two-pin jacks for a remote mike.

With a 12 volt pack or external DC in, you get 5 watts out on both bands. The TH-75A shares the same slide-on battery packs as the TH-25/45/26/46 and TH-77 and are widely available from aftermarket sources. It has a large display and keypad, and can take 9-13VDC in directly. It is a brick of a radio, but has very loud clear audio on RX, and TX audio is smooth and crisp, not raspy or overdriven. While it doesn't have 1000 memory channels or alphatags, it does have true dual band RX, CTCSS encode and decode, and excellent performance. This was Kenwood's first dual band HT and they did it right. I used a TH-75 when they came out in 90/1991 and just picked up another one from Qrz swapshop in mint shape.
