    "content": "To add to that, also be aware that the VFO order is important! if you swap\nTX and RX, this rig does NOT allow duplex. it is only full duplex when your\nTX is on VFO B and RX on VFO A. You can only enable the duplex mode while\non VFO B. This is different to the true full duplex of the TH-D7.\n\nAdditionally, the TH-D72 has both narrow and wide FM deviations. be aware\nof this. I believe the common practice in satellite operation is still FM\nwide (or normal) and *not* narrow.\n\n73\n\nWouter PA3WEG\n\nOn Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 5:10 AM, Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) <\[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Zach,\n>\n> You are correct.
