Another alternative is something like a FT-736 off eBay for \na base station, which can be computer controlled.  Software selection \nis limited, though there is an interface to make the FT-736 look like \nan FT-847 to software such as HRD.  I have beta tested this interface \nmyself and it works extremely well, and opens the 736 to a lot more \nradio control software.  I haven't heard if/when it's going to be \nmade available, but I hope it can be sold to 736 owners.\n\n>I'm using a portable all-mode satellite station - normally two\n>FT-817NDs, sometimes one FT-817ND with a Kenwood TH-F6A\n>(TH-F7 outside the Americas - this HT has an all-mode receiver\n>from HF up to 70cm), always with an Elk 2m/70cm log periodic.\n>Other than the antenna and some accessories deemed unsafe\n>for carry-on luggage on aircraft, my station fits in an old laptop\n>bag and goes where I go.

Unfortunately, in the shack, my antennas let me down (receive \nbeing the biggest issue), so I haven't been able to do any more than \nsimply test.  I'd need a setup like yours to go portable, which would \nbe an interesting exercise without computer control (tuning and \naiming an antenna at the same time :) ).\n\nUnfortunately, while I was tempted, I had to stop short of buying an \nFT-817ND, it's still on the wish list for portable work.\n\n73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL\nhttp://vkradio.com\n\n",
