    "content": "Just had to weigh in on this occasionally recurring issue.  I have now had a KWood D-7 for a year and there is nothing like full duplex. Sawson, KG6NUB and I both use them and routinely work the country with an AR-800 whip, or down to 50 MW on his Arrow or my Elk for real \"gain\".  Being able to hear your downlink may not be absolutely necessary, but it takes away all guess work.  These radios also do an excellent job digipeating over ISS (when the D'ptr is turned on), using the built in tnc.  Best part, these radios continue to pop up on the used market in excellent condition.   \nFWIW\n\nCraig\nN6RSX\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On\nBehalf Of Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\nSent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 1:28 PM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Current Handheld-Which is best\n\n\nHi!\n\n> Heres another vote for the Yaesu HT rigs; I use a Yaesu VX-7R and\n> I appreciate being able to program a single odd band split, memory\n> channel (that require no pl), then I use the memory tune (MT) function\n> on the radio and turn one dial back and forth to adjust for Doppler\n> and the 2 meter transmit is ready to go anytime I squeeze the PTT.\n>  This set up works much better for me then 5 separate memory\n> channels for every bird.

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_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
