You just have to program the tones with both of the\nfrequencies - even if you only need a PL on the transmit frequency.\nMake sure the \"T\" is lit up for a transmitted PL when you are putting\nthe first (receive) frequency into the odd-split memory.\n\nI have never tried the Memory Tune function on Yaesu HTs. I have\na VX-8R at home, but previously had a VX-2R and VX-3R that worked\nOK for satellites. I may give that a try. Still not a full-duplex setup, but\nan interesting way to deal with tuning the receiver for the FM birds.\nAnother item on the \"to-do\" list...\n\n> <snip>\n>\n> Sure wish we had a good full duplex, dual or tri-band, HT that had\n> an excellent receiver, (worked USB on both TX and RX) and had\n> the modest other functions we need to work the satellites but the\n> compromised HT's are still a bunch of fun, with a portable Yagi in\n> the trunk, a spare 19 minutes (including set up) and a pass\n> prediction schedule, can bring a big smile to my face when I am\n> out and about, in the car.\n\nThat would be nice. Until that ever materializes, I've settled on a pair\nof FT-817NDs for my all-mode full-duplex portable satellite setup. Not\nas small as an HT, but that pair of radios is certainly adequate for\nwhat I do. Having higher-capacity internal rechargeable packs lets\nme run 5W without worrying about an external power source, or I can\nplug either (or both) 817s into a 12V jumpstart battery for extended\noperating time.\n\nAfter setting up the 817s many times at hamfests or in the field, I don't\nneed much more time with the two 817s compared to using an HT or\na 2m/70cm FM mobile radio. Hamfest demos using the two 817s on\nVO-52 or AO-7 have drawn much more interest in recent times, and\nthey will be with me at the next hamfest I attend on Saturday (13th). :-)\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n", "attachments": [] }
