Just wading into the discussion late. The FLEX-5000 and K3 both have independent dual receiver options so making a satellite radio is a software issue. Write radio control program and they can do it. Dual-polarity eme reception is not a slam-dunk, however. I still want a K3 but Santa might not bring it. MY aging FT-847 still works. A dual SDR-IQ would be nice, also.
