    "content": "I'm getting back into FM LEO's and setting up a station. I will actually \nbe using a 70cm HT to receive the downlink but I'll be in a base station \nconfiguration. I have no desire to operate portable or \"out in the yard\" \nwith a hand held Arrow or similar antenna. The use of the HT is out of \nfinancial necessity. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against portable \noperation and I think the manufacturers should support it. It's just not \nfor me.\n What I would really like to see someone come out with commercially is \nsomething along the lines of the Genesis SDR HF radio kits. If you \nhaven't seen them, it's a kit for an SDR all mode QRP 40 meter HF radio.\n I'd like to see a kit for or even a prebuilt all mode 5 watt 2m/70cm \nSDR  satellite radio. That would be cool to me.\n I know there are SDR groups out there. I wonder if anyone has anything \nlike that in the works?\n73,\nMichael, W4HIJ\nJeff Davis wrote:\n> I want to offer 'hearty congratulations' to the BOD for the courageous\n> decisions made at the recent Space Symposium.
