I can't speak for that particular radio, but I will share my experience with the Kenwood TM-V7A, TM-D700, and TM-D710. I used them all on SO-50, AO-27, SO-67, AO-51.
I could not find any method to setup a memory channel linking both VFO's and allowing full-duplex. However, I didn't ever find it necessary. Changing VFO's is as simple as pushing a knob on the radio or button on the mic pad.
For the V/U birds, I would simply tune for best reception on the downlink band VFO, then switch back to the uplink band VFO for PTT.
For the upcoming U/V birds, it should be a reverse of the above process.

This radio is nice because it is full duplex cross-band, but I am having issues trying to figure out how to use it with satellites.
The problem is that I will have to switch between bands and change each frequency when adjusting for doppler, and I can't find a simple solution with channels because doing an odd split channel only seems to split between VHF - VHF or UHF - UHF not V-U.
Even if that would work, it would not be full duplex.
Is there any solution using this radio for FM sats???
