    "content": "Jim,\n\nThe Icom IC-910H is a great rig.  I use it all the time for the satellites \nand have worked AO-51, AO-27, SO-50, AO-07, VO-52, and AO-16 without any \nproblems.  I can't imagine what the complaint on EHam was all about, but no \nmatter what the rig, or anything else for that matter, there always seems to \nbe some disgruntled purchaser out there.  Some of the complaints I've seen \nare based more on the knowledge of the user (or lack thereof) than the \ncapabilities of the radio.  The FT-736 is a good rig with 25 watts per band. \nWith a good antenna system, that should be adequate for most, if not all, \nsatellites.  The IC-910H provides continuously variable output from 5 watts \nto 100 on 2 meters and 5 to 75 on 70 cm - more that you should ever need.  I \nuse SATPC32 for doppler control, but I think that the FT-736 is also \ncompatible, so no big deal there.  One very nice feature of the IC-910H is \nthe ability to power compatible preamps through the coax with just a button \npush on the radio.  The main difference is that the IC-910H is currently in \nproduction and is a fairly compact package, whereas the FT-736 is \ndiscontinued and is big and bulky.\n\nOverall, I think you will really like the IC-910H.  The radio does have a \nlearning curve, so DON'T lose the manual.  You will be refering to it many \ntimes.  I've been using mine for less than a year and really like it.  It \nalso does NOT have the birdie on 436.8 that wipes out the downlink on SO-50 \nand AO-27 on the TS-2000, depending upon the amount of doppler shift.\n\nJohn\nN7JK\n\n- - - - - - - - - -\n\nDate: Mon, 26 May 2008 11:26:00 -0400\nFrom: \"Jim Danehy\" <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb]  newbie question Icom 910H & LEO antennas\n\nAlthough licensed for 55 years + , I am just now an SWL on the birds. I did \nOscar 6 in ~ 1975. Having worked and confirmed all of the DXCC countries and \njust recently retired, the birds have my interest. I have plenty of 1/2 inch \nand 7/8 inch hardline and connectors as well as a Kenpro G 500 elevation \nrotor. I have an Elecraft K2 with their transverter and a Microwave Module \nwith satellite capability for 435. Just need some antennas. I am also \nthinking of getting a more modern rig and the Icom 910 caught my eye. A \nfriend of mine has a Yaseu 736 which he will sell me with 2 and 440 modules. \nNo price discussed yet but I thought $700 would be my top. As an alternative \nI thought about the Icom 910H. The only concern was a comment I read on EHam \nthat it was not user friendly on the FM birds being more friendly to the JA \nbirds. Is the 910 capable of doing AO 51 OK or is it a pain ? Often \ninformation can be misleading. This is my first post here on the BB. If \nthere is any bird oper!\n ator close to Cincinnati, Ohio , I would love to visit your station. I do \nhave the old style Mirage bricks for 2 and 432 too. I thought of Egg beaters \nfrom M Square but now leaning more toward the 10 foot long circular yagis \nfor 2 and 432.\n\nAny info or comments would be greatly appreciated. Hope to QSO many of you \nsoon.\n\n73  Jim W9VNE\n\n\n",
