I also noticed the poor RX when attempting to make a sat contact with my DJ-G7T. I managed 1 contact in 3 passes. I noticed my Kenwood D7 had much better RX then the Alinco.

I have had the impression that some of the old AMSAT hands at portable operation have been less than impressed, and so far that has been my experience. It will be interesting so see if there are any helpful firmware updates. While a disappointment so far for satellite use, I do expect to use this as my main HT for normal operations once the English programming software becomes available.
Anybody have an experiences to share, hopefully positive?
