There are radios\nout there that won't break the bank. Yes, more than a dual-band\nFM HT or mobile radio, but not a whole lot more. Even going\nback 15 years to a radio like an IC-706Mk2, you would have the\noption of computer control using software like SatPC32 or\npossibly HRD (among others).\n\nI'm using a portable all-mode satellite station - normally two\nFT-817NDs, sometimes one FT-817ND with a Kenwood TH-F6A\n(TH-F7 outside the Americas - this HT has an all-mode receiver\nfrom HF up to 70cm), always with an Elk 2m/70cm log periodic.\nOther than the antenna and some accessories deemed unsafe\nfor carry-on luggage on aircraft, my station fits in an old laptop\nbag and goes where I go. The 817s could be controlled by\nsoftware, but I spin the \"big knob\" on each radio as I work\nstations instead of also setting up a computer to run the radios.\nYou don't need a lot of power to work SSB, just as many work\nFM satellites with HTs.\n\nGood luck, and 73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK (soon to be VK/WD9EWK)\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n", "attachments": [] }
