You omitted all of the other full duplex radios: The D7 and D72 HT's and D700 and D710 mobiles.
Full-duplex has a very important purpose in the satellite world. you don't need base-station radios like the Icom IC-9100, IC-910, Kenwood TS-2000, or Yaesu FT-847. If you own two handhelds, chances are you have what you need!
There are 10's of thousands of these Kenwood radios out there, and many people upgraded from the D7 and D700 to the D72 and D710 for the enhanced APRS functions. But the full duplex dual band radios remain the best there is for full duplex FM satellite AND APRS satellite work.
