Good 70cm all mode radios for satellites
What are some of the best 70cm all mode radios to use on the satellites? I am looking for a monoband radio, not one of the HF/VHF/UHF radios as I have the other bands covered already. I would like one that is plenty sensitive on FM as well to receive the FM satellites.

Find a IC 451 or IC471. A oldy but a goodie. Very reasonable on the usual used markets, ebay, hamfests etc.

I agree. Have a 475 forweak signal, and a 471 for microwave IF. Good rigs. 73, Jim wb4gcs@amsat.org
