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.

Neither the '74 nor the new '75 are true, full-duolex HTs.

 Wait for the new Kenwood D-75 to be available. Replacement for the D-74. 🛰🛰

What Clint said.  When I go HT-portable, I use an FT3D and an older Yaesu HT (VX8, shares the same batteries).  Antenna is a modified (carbon fiber boom) Arrow.  I use a tripod, you don't have to.  Good luck!

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

Ideas at work-sat.com for you!
