Hi Ted,

I bought a TH-F7E a few months ago and I happen to think that it's an
amazing little piece of kit for it's size. It works well on both 2 and
70. Last Sunday I was on the Meath/Cavan border, here in Ireland, at
the highest point in Meath which is only about 900 feet ASL and was
able to get into the Dublin repeater some 60 miles (100km) away using
the highest power setting, 5W. 
It's performance on airband is far superior to a dedicated AOR scanner
I bought a few years ago and HF performance with a simple piece of
wire attached is more than adequate.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this great little radio to
you!!
