Yes Paul,

I am tired of collecting marginal HT radios that really do not do well as full-duplex units. Hoping for some reports soon!

The new Wouxun KG-UV8D looks like a very interesting HT and may potentially be useful for FM satellite operations as it does have full duplex functionality.

The question is whether or not the receiver desenses too much to be useful for full duplex V/U FM satellite work like the Puxing and Alinco models. I look forward to seeing reports.
