All of that being said, I would recommend the Kenwood TH-F6A from the group of currently available non-full-duplex radios for one major reason - its general coverage receiver is all mode.
All of my satellite contacts have been with the TH-F7E which is the European version - no 220MHz, but no "cellphone hole" either. What's especially handy is you can open it up to work on PMR frequencies too, so I can bung in the channels for a site where I'm working and use it to test commercial gear.
