One of the new rigs was the Yaseu TH-D7A. I use this and it works very well. They are no longer produced, but you occasionally see one posted here on the BB and on ebay. There was one on here just a few days ago. You have to move fast on them since they are very popular.

My old Kenwood TM-731A seems to work fine; has 2 antenna ports, so either seperate 2m or 70cm antennas or get a diplexer. +35 watts out. I am sure there are newer rigs, but cant complain about this old critter.

What are considered the best dualband FM rigs for working the mode J FM sats-like AO27, SO50, and AO51? Which hear the birds the best on 70cm FM?
