Thank you for mentioning the voice guide function. The accessibility has been improved drastically for hams who are visually-impaired. The Voice Guide function now speaks almost 100% of the menus and other items in what is a very complex radio - over 770 voice prompts! Other things I love about the TH-D75 include: * A nice full-sounding speaker compared to the D74, * a more solid feel in the hand, * Improved transmit audio. Where the limiter can be heard pumping and reacting slowly on the D74, where as this is almost undetectable on the D75. Also, I may be biased, but the D75 is now one of the best-sounding D-STAR radios.
Thanks for a very good review. I have a D74 don't think the D75 is sufficiently improved to be worthwhile changing... but I'm always open to persuasion!
Ekki ist legendär - gut gemacht. Etwas verwirrend, war das englisch von Ekki, oder wer war das? Und die Freude, dass mein TH-D74 eigentlich auch noch nicht zum alten Eisen gehört. 73s Wolfgang OE1MWW

If you want to pair the TH-D75 or TH-D74 with iPhone and iPad to use the radio's built-in TNC, check out the B.B. Link adapter

7:21 I think you have the AGC set differently between the radios.

Das war eine KI, war halt billig und sehr schnell gemacht 😄 Ist schon frappierend, die eigene Stimme so simuliert zu hören. 73
This radio is way too delicate for the price. It has zero water resistance and Kenwood warranty is useless for any water damage. Buyer be warned
The radio is not sold as waterproof.
