And for some *real* oldies, the Yeasu FT-736 and FT-726, as long as it has the satellite module installed, and the Kenwood TS-790.
I have both the TS-790 and FT-847. I've never tried the 790 on satellites, but for terrestrial use, it has a better receiver (quieter) than the 847.
I run my 847 under SatPC32 control, which I also use to control my rotors through a Fox Delta interface box.

EXCLUDING the radios used for portable and with handheld antennas, what are the radios used for FIXED operations? I have my IC-2730, which I understand can be used, but wonder what other radio options are there out there. Are the older second-hand radios (hard to find) the answer?
Any comments appreciated.
