Somewhere in my dreams, Icom upgrades the IC-705 to include full duplex and a satellite mode in a future version. I'd sell all my other ham radio stuff and just go with the 705 on that day. Unfortunately, it's NOT full duplex so I think some use it paired with something else for the uplink or downlink. I think there are a few out there that bought dual 705's for satellite work. I'm not lucky enough for that though...

I saw a PowerPoint presentation on this new Icom radio suggesting it could be used for satellite operation, but it's my understanding that it is not full duplex so how are they using it on satellites without experiencing great difficulty finding their own downlink? I also am not sure if SatPC32 is compatible with this radio. Does anyone have any experience using the 705 for satellite operation?
