Wait a minute... How can a radio be capable of cross-band repeat and not be full duplex? I believe the answer is no. Cross-band (analog) repeating is inherently full duplex. So, perhaps this is a simple way to ask a non-satellite person, without having to explain what duplex means.
By the way, my Alinco DR-610 mobile rig is also full-duplex. You may add it to the list. (In fact, it's got some down-right-weird modes, between the two sides of the radio, that it's sometimes anyone's guess what will happen when you key up.)

... Yaesu FT-8800 ...
Really? Dual-receive, indeed. And will perform crossband repeating. But I can transmit on one band and simultaneously hear myself on another with a FT-8800? _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
