I know I \ncommented a few weeks ago about the 8800 having a weak receiver, but I think \nafter using the G71As for so long, I got spoiled with the receiver in it.\n\nThe s-meter is also practically useless on the D7. You have to toggle back \nand forth between bands to see it, and it also never goes above approx. \ns3-s5, on a good pass. It makes it difficult, especially when a bird is \nquiet, to tell if you are on it or not. You need to have keen ears to tell \nwhether you are listening to the carrier or noise.\n\nI didn’t use the D7 for much satellite work before I went back to the G71A \nfor receive, so I probably need to try the full duplex again and give a more \naccurate observation.\n\n73!\n\nZack\nKD8KSN\n\n-----Original Message----- \nFrom: Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\nSent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 10:24 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: 2 ht vs. 1-duplex ht\n\nZack,\n\n> I have the D7A (full duplex), but I don’t like the receiver sensitivity. \n> I\n> went back to using one THG71 for the down and the D7 for the up.

I have heard things about the D72.\n\nIf someone is looking for a single HT for full-duplex satellite work, I \nwould\nrecommend the D7 despite having to switch VFOs for Doppler adjustments.\nI have the TH-D72A, which works the same way as the TH-D7 regarding\nthe need to jump between the two VFOs to adjust the receiver. It's a small\nnuisance, but a small price to pay for not having to deal with two radios\nwhen working full-duplex on FM satellites. I've picked up a couple of old\nD7s (one appears to be a TH-D7A(G), and the other may be an original\nTH-D7A), that I hope to get new battery packs for and make a couple of\nFM satellite stations when combined with Elk antennas.\n\nYour TH-G71A is a good dual-band HT. Not capable of full-duplex operation,\nbut worked well for me using groups of memory channels for FM satellites.\nThe receiver was pretty good, and some would notice that I changed to a\ndifferent radio from my normal radios when I used that HT.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
