Thanks, Patrick
I've been considering "retiring" my TH-D7, and I think you just sold me

As always Patrick, good to see you, Unfortunately I had to leave early due
to family obligations, but the highlight of the hamfest for me would come
later that afternoon: I had a message on my phone telling me I'd won the
Grand Prize in the raffle! I now have in my lap a brand new Yaesu FT8900R

Hi!
Thanks for all the QSOs during demonstrations I gave at the
Superstition Amateur Radio Club's annual hamfest in Mesa,
Arizona, yesterday. I worked 2 passes each on AO-7, VO-52,
and HO-68, along with one SO-50 pass. I apologize if you
were trying for me on the SO-50 pass around 1719 UTC, a
Hi!
I wavered on whether I was going to get this radio straight away, after

exclusive of each other. That remains a disappointing limitation on
rigs like the TH-D7A and TS-2000.

Hi!
The TH-D72A is the real deal as a cross-band full-duplex HT for
FM satellite work. And, unlike with the DJ-G7T and some
versions of the IC-W32A, no RX
desense while
transmitting. :-)
I used VFO B for TX, VFO A for RX (it has better
sensitivity), balanced audio all the way to VFO A,
