    "content": "Jeff,\nThe IC-910H is the perfect transceiver for satellite operations.  The\nIC-706MkIIG is only half-duplex and thus won't support satellite\noperations properly.\n\nI currently use a Yaesu FT-51R and a Kenwood TS-790A for my satellite\noperations and love them both.  Full-duplex is very important, though,\nto satellite operations.\n\n73s,\nEric Christensen, W4OTN\nAMSAT Area Coordinator - Southeastern Virginia USA\nAMSAT Member 35360\nhttp://www.ericsatcom.net\n\n\n\nJeff Mock wrote:\n> This is a great question, I'm interested in the answer as well.
