[amsat-bb] Icom IC91A for FM sat work?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to retire my 20 year old dual-band HT, and replace it with a current model. I would like to get a handheld that will work well for FM satellite work as well as normal repeater operation. I know that the Kenwood D7A is popular, and I have heard some mention of the Icom W32 in the past. Has anyone tried the new Icom IC91A for FM sat work? Can it simultaneously transmit and receive? I generally like this over some of the new rigs due to it being a bit more "normal" sized to operate with big fingers.
