Last year at Dayton, where it was not so much announced as broadly hinted at, I asked and was told that it was planned to have all the satellite functions of the D7, plus a thorough modernization for components and features. It will be interesting to see whether they deliver on that. After being

Guy, Mode-L is not authorized for transmission FROM a spacecraft, only TO one. So you only need TX capability. Of course the rigs you mentioned will give you the needed TX capability. A cheaper way would be to find a used transverter. Note that unless it was designed for satellite use, it will

I asked Kenwood rep, and was told at Dayton last year that it was going to be full duplex like the D7. Maybe there will be an operational model on the floor this year. If so we need to try and verify full duplex. See you guys at Dayton!... 73 Jeff kb2m -Original Message- From:
