    "content": "Hello,\r\n\r\nThere is no portable radio that I am aware of that can do it all. You will need some combo of radios to get full duplex, HF, and portability:\r\n-- The Kenwood TH-D72A will do full duplex 2m/70cm for FM sat work and APRS, but has no HF. It's also just a darn nice HT. I have one and it is my everyday radio.\r\n-- The Yaesu FT-817/FT-818 will do half duplex HF/VHF/UHF FM + SSB, low power and portable.The 817/818 will give one advantage that you won't get with the D72A, if you're also lugging a computer around -- they can be computer controlled and the D72A cannot. I don't have these yet, but I do eventually to get at least one for sat TX (I haven't decided if I will use another one or SDR for sate RX) and portable HF.\r\n\r\nThe Arrow is a great antenna for the VHF/UHF side. I have an Elk dual-band which is comparable but both are good!\r\n\r\nFor an HF antenna, I would suggest looking at the Spiderbeam GoPAK for a decent multi-band, portable HF antenna good for up to 100W. I purchased one back when they were still the National Park Activation Kit and used it as my primary antenna on my Yaesu 857D for most of a year, and was making decent DX contacts with it (Cuba, Argentina, Japan). Lightweight, easy to set up and tear down:\r\nhttp://www.spiderbeam.us/product_info.php?info=p258_GoPAK%20%20(Go%20Portable%20Antenna%20Kit).html\r\n\r\n\r\n--\r\nDevin L.
