For a one radio solution, find a clean TH-D7. Mine works great after many years. Full duplex. It also has packet so you can digipeat over ISS and other dig sats.

Use your better HT's RX sensitivity, and use a second HT for TX.

I want to get back on the satellites using an HT. What are some options for handheld/HT radios? I have an Yaesu Ft5dr but I read its not full duplex. It seems like the Kenwood D74 has been discontinued as HRO and DX Engineering both dont have the radio in stock. I live in an HOA neighborhood so an antenna array is not an option.
Thanks and 73
