Good evening Lee, I've used my TH-F7E ( Europe version without 220) now on several occasions for receiving, for me it worked perfect, but as i do rx only (so far) i can't tell you how it will react on a 20w signal. the only con i have is that the tune knob is quit small, and if you use small tuning steps like me you will have to turn a lot ;-) but this is more a comfort issue than a real problem. Good luck, '73 LennartPD5LKM/MM

I have used this one for many years. As long as there is some antenna separation, I wouldnt expect much if any desense.

GA satellite goo-roos. Today I was scanning the HRO catalogue looking for an inexpensive solution to full duplex contacts for the linear birds and I ran across the Kenwood TH-F6A hand held 144, 222, and 450 MHZ FM with SSB option on receive only. That sounds to me like a great fairly inexpensive solution.
Has anyone tried one of these yet for satellite work?
And I'm wondering if there would be a de-sense problem if used on receive with a 20 watt transmitter on a different band close to it?
