[amsat-bb] Re: more about the TH-D72A for satellites

Hi Bob!

My understanding is that unlike the THD7, the D72 can only operate full duplex as noted above RX-A and TX-B.  But either band can be VHF or UHF, so you can operate mode B or J, but the TX is always from B.

You are 100% correct.

I downloaded both D72 manuals from the Kenwood web site during my lunch, and that is exactly how the full duplex mode is described. Transmit with VFO B, receive with VFO A - as long as the two VFOs are not set to the same band.

73!
