The Kenwood TH-D7 is full-duplex, along with several others (ICom W32a) that are no longer available new. Jim KQ6EA

I dont know of any handheld that is full duplex. You might have to use 2 handhelds and a filter on the uhf downlink to cut down the desensing depending on how close the antennas are.

I've made many sat contacts with my VX-2R but am thinking about upgrading to something with 5 watts output. I used a borrowed IC-W32A and Swan Island
and
it worked fine, although I could not hear my
downlink
in full duplex mode, too much desensing. Not sure full duplex is even worth the extra money, as it
seems
that most duplex HTs have a similar desensing
problem.
I was thinking about trading in the VX-2R for an
FT-60
or a VX-6R, any comments on these or other sat-friendly HTs?
