Hello everyone Probably asked this question several times, but I am thinking of improving the equipment for satellites, I currently use an IC910 but I was not convinced by its handling, ago I used an IC820 and I was happier than with the IC910. I am considering change with a TS2000 or looking for the old TS711 & 811, I discard the new 7600 for their high cost ... Which one can work better in terms of benefits?
Thanks!!! 73 de EC3DR
My first choice is the Flex 6600 with a VHF and UHF transverter.
The next choice is the IC-9700.
Both are fine, but I waterfall / panadapter is much more flexible on the Flex solution.
And, yes, I have used both of them on Linear Birds.

I had a TS-2000. It's biggest issue is a birdie in the downlink of SO-50--other than that I liked it ok. I have since upgraded to a 9700. I get it is really costly, but a lot of nice features, including a built-in pan-adapter that makes linears much easier!

Have you considered using an SDR, such as the FCDP+ (http://www.funcubedongle.com/?page_id=1073), for your RX? You could keep the IC-910H for TX.

This would allow better situational awareness on the downlink with minimal $$$.
