  I just purchased a new  Kenwood  TR-2600A  2	meter  walkie-
  talkie  (it  was  a  tossup between it and the ICOM IC02AT).
  Like the other brand new Kenwood vhf/uhf  radios,  it	 comes
  equipped with	DCS, a Kenwood-ized ASCII afsk digital squelch
  system, which	allows what is	essentially  "selective	 call"
  operation.

  Since	this is	a new "feature", and  few  hams	 I  know  have
  equipment  containing	this circuitry,	I haven't found	anyone
  to test it with yet!	Has anyone  in	net-land  tried	 using
  this new digital signaling feature Kenwood-to-Kenwood?  Com-
  ments?

  Anyone else have a TR-2600A?	So far,	it has performed quite
  well,	especially the 140 -160	MHz receive coverage.

  I will post a	product	review after I	have  more  experience
  with this radio.
