For several years I use a pair of dual-band Fastcom HT, the FC-UV88 for RX and FC-UV98 for TX each independently connected to the respective element of an Arrow antenna to have a portable full-duplex sat ops.

I’ve uploaded several QSO on YouTube under my callsign as the channel name

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
