While the battery was charging, I was looking over the radio and it appeared the LCD panel was off center. I could stick my fingernail in the right hand side of the display. So, I took it apart to have a look. Simple to pull apart as per Mole's instructions. Found it wasn't the LCD, but the...

Just got mine. Excited to see if I can get the receive steps down to 5 Khz and try some full duplex sat work. Anyone else used this for sat work?

Tis a shame Just having gotten started on FM sats, I never had a chance to work AO-51. Heard it a couple of times during my learning/listening phase before it petered out. Now we have AO-27 which rocks and SO-50 which is a real challenge for me handheld. I missed out on 7 years? Bummer!

I believe every time I've listened to AO-27, at the beginning of acquisition, I hear data from the bird. What is that data? I'm in Florida.

If the IC-91AD is full duplex capable, I haven't figured it out. Setting tx/rx on separate vfos, I set the tx vfo volume down and rx vfo up. I switch to the tx channel to transmit (if I'm on top of my game) and rx is muted while transmitting. Really a shame for such a pricey radio. At least I...

Thanks man. I 've been watching your review thread on that radio. Have you had a chance to check it out on sat ops as a receiver w/ separate transmitter? Does it desense? Shucks....maybe I'll just pick one up. Ridiculous price!

Just had my first contacts on an AO-27 pass. Arrow in one hand and IC-91AD in the other. It was rather intense, bouncing between VFO's, but made the success quite enjoyable.

Anybody here using an IC-91A for FM sat ops? Takes some dexterity, but seems do-able. I have the Arrow II with diplexer and am wondering if my best bet would be to use a hand-held scanner with the IC-91A for full duplex. If so...any recommendations on a good, sensitive scanner? Or would you...

Uplink change I just read somewhere that AO-51's uplink frequency has changed to 145.920 due to interference on 145.880. Is this true? I tried working AO-51 on an east coast pass yesterday with an Arrow and HT. About half way through the pass, heard op ask guys to be patient as they were...
