Try using a duplexer as a filter, it has worked very well for me.

On FM the cheap Baofengs May work but the quality ( lack of ) control makes it hit or miss with respect to excessive desense, as I found out. Rob KA2CZU

The FT-857 or FT-897 will be your best bet for shack-in-a-box HF/VHF/UHF portable all-mode operation. Youll need to supply external batteries, unless 5w max is okay, in which case go for the FT-817ND (or the FT-818 if you want to buy new). I'd recommend buying both the 897 and an 817 for satellites, so you can hear yourself on the downlink and meet almost all your requirements radio-wise. On FM, you can get away with a pair of cheapy Baofeng handhelds.
Antennas are another consideration; I'd recommend the Arrow II http://www.arrowantennas.com/arrowii/146-437.html for satellite work, and an endfed for with a resonant wire for each band for HF portable.

Hello all,
I am a new member here, and this is my first post.
I am sure that this question has been asked many times before, but I
would
like the groups current answers.
I want to be able to work most of the FM & SSB satellites that fly over
by
Oregon location, and also work portable using batteries.
I would also like to work HF portable, so one one all mode HF, VHF, UHF, SSB, FM radio would be desirable (I can willing to use two different radios).
Money is an issue, but can spend a bit for this.
Any Suggestions?
