Hi!
On the QRZ.com satellite forum, Clint posted that he made a mistake with regard to his auction posting of the Puxing PX-UV973 HT, and that he corrected it. Unfortunately, what he did to "correct" the misstatement in the auction posting was anything but a correction. Clint removed the original auction listing for the Puxing HT, created a new listing, and the new listing still has the same incorrect description.

Again, if the PX-UV973 was truly capable of working SO-50 full-duplex, we would have probably heard about it in 2013 after he bought one. We would have definitely heard about that when he was selling them in late 2013 and early 2014. This is coming from the same person who prided himself on being honest (among other things), when he sold these radios a couple of years ago.

A shame...

Hi again!
After two posts on this list, and posts on a couple of other forums, Clint has finally updated the description of the Puxing PX-UV973 HT in his auction. He removed the references to this radio performing well in full-duplex mode for working V/U FM satellites. That part of the product description now reads:
"This model was the first of the recent crop of Chinese HTs to actually perform well in true, full-duplex mode. Truly crossband- repeats, too."
(from https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/24686/auctions/29310/auction_items/... )
Since I posted my objection to how Clint mischaracterized that radio here on this list, it is only proper to acknowledge that Clint addressed my complaint when he removed the incorrect text from the product description.
73.
