Clint,
Actually, I gave up on it as a satellite rig. Right now, it is being used, with great success, as the RF for a fill-in APRS digi. If someone reports better satellite results, I will give it a try when the WX warms.

I have not tested it on satellites but the sensitivity on the sub-band is not good compared to the main-band.
To solve this you can enable the "lamp/squelch" button to be the PTT. Now you can receive on the main-band and when pressing the "lamp/squelch" the PTT is x-mitting on the frequency you have on the sub-band.
This could be a solution for the bad sensitivity.
