Eric, earlier this year I went from the FT-847 to the IC-910H and I couldn't be happier. I used it strictly for satellites. No question about it, the 847 is an excellent radio; in one respect it's better than the 910 because it has HF. However, the receiver on the 910H is far superior to

I/m interested in the possibility of using oscars 27, 29, 50, 51, and 52 without using rotors or directional antennas and maybe while mobile. Uplink seems not to be a problem as one can always QRO to a level where the satellite sees an apropriate signal level that is enough but without robing
