Chinese radios on satellites
I am considering picking up a cheap FM dualband radio to have as another travel radio for the satellites. I am wondering which models of the Chinese dualbanders that people have had success with on the FM satellites. Some ones at good prices are
TYT TH-7800 TYT TH-8600 Jetstream JT270MH and its Lexein VV-898 Anytone AT778UV
Any good or bad comments on these models? Other good models to consider? I do need something with a headphones/speaker jack with leaves out some of the QYT models.

Why not consider the Yaesu FT-60R?
It runs ~$155 from several outlets.
You'll get known-good build quality for about the same price and they're still made in Japan.

Hello.
I think it also depends on the comfort you are looking for, I use a TYT TH9800 base radio because it has a full duplex option, I have recorded all the frequencies of the main FM satellites. On one side of the screen the TX frequency and on the other the RX, in simplex mode, so I only change one by one to compensate for the doppler effect.

John, If you follow the link below, it will take you to a list of full-duplex (and almost full-duplex) radios (old & new). Maybe it will help you to select a suitable radio. The list is maintained by Patrick WD9EWK https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v3byggtuqw33fkk/AAAamatWbd9657AQfXhM6-wPa/Article...
