The mobile app feels like the headline, here. Looks way more intuitive and convenient compared to programming through a CHIRP-like app or on the radio directly.
TH-d75 does air band too. I picked up one of these after buying the TH-d75 but haven't done much other than unbox and do some initial tests. It isn't all that clear how to get the TNC into KISS mode, or I'm just missing something. It does feel a lot more "substantial" in the hand compared to the TH-D75 but also weighs heavily on the belt. I had to use a "dumb" charger with it as well, I wish manufacturers would do more than just slap a USB-C connector on what used to be a mini or microUSB connector and actually make it detect PD chargers. And the SMA-RP connector is annoying too. But a good choice if you don't want to scratch up your TH-D75 for sure.

I don't have the TH-D75A to test, sadly. My old TH-D74A is still reliable so I didn't feel the need to upgrade to the D75A.
I am looking forward to documenting getting the radio's TNC into KISS mode and playing with it.
Thanks for the observations and stay tuned for more!
