Clint, Can you name a specific manufacturer that claims their equipment is "Full Duplex" when it isn't ?
I note Yaesu say the FTM-350 as well as being "Full Duplex" does: "For emergency work, or to extend the range of a hand-held unit, the FTM-350R includes Cross-Band Repeat capability." Now it seems to me the Cross-Band Repeat facility wouldn't work if it wasn't full duplex. 73 Trevor M5AKA --- On Thu, 16/12/10, Clint Bradford <clintbradf...@mac.com> wrote: > From: Clint Bradford <clintbradf...@mac.com> > Subject: [amsat-bb] Educate the Manufacturers > To: "AMSAT BB" <amsat-bb@amsat.org> > Date: Thursday, 16 December, 2010, 21:02 > >> ... but Kenyeacomco Model > XYZ-123 claims it is "full-duplex" ... > > Several of us have tried for years to properly educate the > manufacturers and marketing departments of ham radio > transceivers.
