If Alinco couldn't get true, full-duplex ops for working the U/V - V/U birds right at the $250 price point, I am not holding my breath for release of the new Wouxun.
Wouxun brought a couple demo models to IWCE last month. They slapped FCC ID numbers on them from another radio ...
The only dealer on the planet that I would personally purchase anything "Wouxun" is Powerwerx.com. Rn by hams, and they care. And they have the "clout" with Wouxun to get things done (like firmware updates, cosmetic and other improvements). The fact that they - at least at this time - are not excited about this ris in interesting.
And, of course, I do not see this rig on the FCC's OET site for certification for anything.

Which current HT models do perform full duplex without any desense on the receive side?

Some older full duplex HTs that you can pick up at a fest or on eBay include Yaesu FT-470 and FT-530 and Icom W2A and W32A.

If the Kenwood is full-duplex, why don't they claim that anywhere in their literature?
Mike N4MHO
No idea why it's not in the literature, but it definitely is full duplex, just like the earlier models of the D7 series.

I ask about that yearly at Dayton. The answers, when not blank expressions, are along the lines of "Satellite operators already know this, and are a tiny fraction of our market compared to APRS." Obviously my suggestion that adding the phrase "Full Duplex Satellite Capable" might increase that fraction has fallen on deaf ears.

Take a look at page 38 of the above manual PDF. It does it, they just don't realize what this particular feature means to us...

So it does! Probably because the manual has no mention of satellite operation at all.
