If so, how are you getting it\nto uplink and downlink on different bands?\n\nI really love my T7H for repeater and simplex work. For sats, I currently\nonly use it for RX and use a 2M mobile for TX. I'd love to consolidate to a\nmore portable setup.\n\n73 de AJ4MJ\n\nOn Sun, May 17, 2009 at 11:53 PM, Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) <\[email protected]> wrote:\n\n>\n> Hi!\n>\n> Dayton was, once again, a fun time.
