Kenwood TH-D75

Kenwood TH-D75 144/220/430 MHz APRS D-Star Handheld Transceiver

The TH-D75 is an amazing radio. It does basically everything. Some of my favorite features:

  • Built-in GPS provides a data source for APRS tracking
  • Bluetooth connectivity means I can use my Bose QuietComfort headphones to listen and talk on the radio
  • Bluetooth can also be used with an iPhone or Mac for APRS or other digital modes
  • It has a MicroSD card slot and can record everything it hears on the radio, useful for reviewing call signs you may have missed
To connect the radio over Bluetooth to an iPhone, you'll need an adapter, since the iPhone only supports BLE. The B.B. Link adapter allows the TH-D75 to connect to the iPhone wirelessly.
