One thing that helped me with a dual radio setup was a MFJ-916B duplexer that is being used as a filter; only on the 2m side of the Arrow.

The VX + BC should work, but be sure to have a good (and separate!) antenna on the scanner. Try to listen to a pass with the scanner to see how it performs first.
My first Oscar contacts on RS-10 used a Radio Shack shortwave receiver for its 10 meter downlink.

To this point I have only ever listened to the satellites using the RemoteHams station and the long wire that's in place there. I am hoping soon to pick up an Arrow so I can start not only listening but
interacting
as well.
I wanted to ask about a setup I am thinking of to see if everyone thinks
it
would work.
I have a VX-7R right now that I plan to use for TX connected into the Arrow. I know it's not full duplex, but I was thinking about using my BC246T scanner for the RX side with some headphones plugged in. Does this seem like a viable option?
