    TH-f6 + sat

    At one time there was a list of full duplex capable HT's but I doubt its been updated. The Kenwood TH-D72 works great for the FM sats, but you will need to use earphones so you don't have feedback issues and you need to switch between the A and B VFO to transmit and adjust RX for doppler, since...

    AO 27 and SO 50 are the only FM sats left working now and they transmit and receive on the same frequencies with SO 50 needing a tone on the uplink. AO 27 is only available on ascending passes in the northern hemisphere for 7 minutes about when it crosses 30 degrees North latitude

    Working sats w/ IC-91AD

    Isn't your Icom full duplex? I thought I saw that in the manual I downloaded. I used a combination of HT's with my arrow without the duplexer for full duplex operation(VX-6R, VX8GR, UVD1P, and a Kenwood TH-6). The real fun was using the TH-D72 with a headset, I had to go back and forth...

    Yaesu VX-8r is way way too complicated for me!!

    A lot of amateur radios are a problem for new users, I know I had problems at first. Best thing you can do besides joining a club is to sit down with the radio and manual and go through basic operations like programming a frequency into the VFO and then saving it to memory and then move on to...

    TS-2000 and SAT Work

    Nobody needs to kick you, you're probably beating your head against the wall because of selling the 847. The real question is, is how big of a birdie is it, can you hear it at 436.795 or 436.805? I think one guy posted on the amsat-bb that he got around the birdie by listening on AM(it's been...
