I was just speaking to a Icom rep last weekend. He confirmed the W32A was no more.
As far as I know, that leaves the D7 as the only new full duplex HT. Sadly, some of the Kenwood reps I've talked to don't even realize it is full duplex!

I was trying to help out another ham get started with satellites, and just checked the on-line HRO catalog. They no longer list the Icom W32A, only its accessories.
Does that mean that the TH-D7A[G] is the only HT being made today which works well on FM satellites??? Are there other vendors besides HRO to check?
