I asked Kenwood rep, and was told at Dayton last year that it was going to be full duplex like the D7. Maybe there will be an operational model on the floor this year. If so we need to try and verify full duplex. See you guys at Dayton!...

Last year at Dayton, where it was not so much announced as broadly hinted at, I asked and was told that it was planned to have all the satellite functions of the D7, plus a thorough modernization for components and features. It will be interesting to see whether they deliver on that. After being burned with the Alinco last year, I will hold off on ordering one to get some operational reports. ;)
