Hi Mike,
Consider these:
-Full Duplex is receiving and transmitting at the same time, typically on different frequencies (bands).
-When working satellites in this mode, you are doing the same thing as their transponder is :-)
-When you hear your / another signal in the receiver, presuming it and the transmitter are tuned to the right frequencies, it represents what you or other stations are transmitting to the satellite.
Does that help?

I'm having a difficult time of understanding the concept of Full Duplex.
Can
anyone explain it to me? I have the ARRL satellite book, read about it in there and Wikipedia. I still didn't understand how it works with a transceiver setup like we use.
