    "content": "I'd recommend the Yaesu FT-847 over the Icom for these reasons:\n\n1.  The 847 has 160M thru 70cm in one box.  This means that when AO7\ncomes up in mode A, you don't have to use a separate rig for the 10M\ndownlink.  You'll have all the other bands as well, 160, 80, 60, 40, 30,\n20, 17, 15, 12, 10, & 6 meters, as well as 2 meters and 70cm\n\n2.  The 847, which is out of production, can be had for much less money\nthan an IC910.  I got mine for about $850.  I typically see 910's\nselling used, without the 1.2GHz option, for about $1,000.\n\n3.  You can more easily find and install a different mike on an 847,\nsince they don't require a special type of mike.\n\n4.  The IC910s I've dealt with tend to develop a situation where the\ndisplayed frequency does not match the actual frequency.  2 meters is\nusually about 3 KHz off while 70cm gets about 9 KHz off.  This can get\nnasty to use for someone who's not familiar with the rig.\n\n5.  CAT control of the rig is as simple as running a null-modem cable\nfrom the back of the rig to a serial port on your computer.  The 910H\nrequires a CTV or whatever they call it to interface to your computer.\n\n6.  While it doesn't have a 1.2GHz option, you can still use a\ntransverter, which tends to be much less expensive than the Icom 1.2GHz\noptional unit.\n\n7.  It is also packet-ready, as well as all the other digital modes.\n\n8.  DSP filtering is built-in and comes standard.\n\n9.  Less menu driven than the Icom unit.\n\nIn short, the 847 is more versatile, easier to interface with the rest\nof your station, and less expensive than the Icom. \n\n\n\n73 de W0HV, Jim in Raymore, MO (ex-N8AU)\n\nLight travels faster than sound...  This is why some people appear\nbright until you hear them speak.\n\n\nDate: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 10:03:50 -0600 (GMT-06:00)\nFrom: George Henry <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Rigs, whats available\nTo: [email protected]\nMessage-ID:\n\t\n<25485375.1196438630891.JavaMail.root@elwamui-sweet.atl.sa.earthlink.net\n>\n\t\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n\nOther than my old Drake B-line twins with the 2-meter transmit and\nreceive converters (think RS-10/11, RS-12/13, and RS-15), I have only\nused the Icom IC-275/475H combo and the 910H.  After borrowing a 910 for\nField Day one year, I immediately went out and bought my own.  I didn't\neven look at anything else, and I love it.  Sensitive RX, plenty of TX\npower when needed, 1.2 GHz with the optional UX-910, easy to interface\nto the computer, 9600 packet-ready, and great for terrestrial work as\nwell.  I have the DSP and high-stability options in mine, as well.\n\nGeorge, KA3HSW\n\n-----Original Message-----\n>From: MM <[email protected]>\n>Sent: Nov 30, 2007 7:33 AM\n>To: Amsat-BB bb <[email protected]>\n>Subject: [amsat-bb]  Satellite Rigs, whats available\n>\n>Satellite Rigs, what?s available\n>\n>I am planning on building a new satellite club station\n>for an organization.
