I have a pair of headphones and my iPod with the iTalk module to\nrecord all of the contacts I make. I find it a lot easier to do that then\ntrying to scribble calls as I go.\n\nBill, if you're looking for a full duplex radio, I don't really have many\nsuggestions, but you mentioned having a VX-2. The VX-2 has a VERY nice\nreceiver, so with the VX-2 for RX and a FT-60 for TX I think it'd work out\npretty nice for you.\n\nOn Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 8:51 PM, Mark Vandewettering <\[email protected]> wrote:\n\n>\n> On Apr 3, 2008, at 5:11 PM, Bill Dzurilla wrote:\n> > I've made many sat contacts with my VX-2R but am\n> > thinking about upgrading to something with 5 watts\n> > output.
