For what it's worth, I whined and moaned to the Kenwood rep at Hamvention about no full duplex on the D74 or 75. He was actually very sympathetic--said he had talked a number of times to HQ but to no avail.

Neither the '74 nor the new '75 are true, full-duolex HTs.

Wait for the new Kenwood D-75 to be available. Replacement for the D-74. 🛰🛰

What Clint said. When I go HT-portable, I use an FT3D and an older Yaesu HT (VX8, shares the same batteries). Antenna is a modified (carbon fiber boom) Arrow. I use a tripod, you don't have to. Good luck!

Use your better HT's RX sensitivity, and use a second HT for TX.
Ideas at work-sat.com for you!

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
