    "content": "I have three of the FT-8800 mobiles. They work great for satellite. It \nis my FM radio for sat operation installed here at home. I've tried \nother dual band radios, but the FT-8800 is much preferred.\n\nThe downside is that I too have noticed that they lack sensitivity \nespecially on 70cm. Yes, I measured it on a signal generator. They are \nmore than 5 to 7 db down from other radios that I have. But they do have \nbetter intermod immunity that most radios.\n\nI have used one of my FT-8800 units with a hand held Arrow antenna and \nshort coax for club and class demos with good success.\n\nDon't expect it to hear the weaker sats well, like SO-50, on the end of \nabout 75' of coax on steerable beams on the roof. My solution for this \nat home was to place a SSB preamp at the antenna on the roof. With that \nsetup I can hear SO-50 horizon to horizon. Without the preamp I have \ndrop outs and signals are very weak at the horizon.\n\n\nErnie W8EH\n\n\nOn 1/12/2011 3:43 PM, Clint Bradford wrote:\n>>> ...
