There aren't any satellites on 6M. There's always the old fashioned solution, an HF receiver, an HF transmitter and a pair of converters or transverters. They're still available for the microwave bands. There must be older 2M and 70cM multimode rigs available used ( IC211E, TS700, IC202/404

But just because something is listed as a satellite radio, why only limit it to the satellite bands? Satellite radios also make good VHF/UHF weak signal and contest radios. 73s John AA5JG On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 1:56 PM, Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF ni...@ngunn.netwrote: There aren't any satellites

I have both an FT-847, and a TS-790. I prefer the FT-847 for satellite work, and the TS-790 for weak signal work. It's mostly what I'm used to, and the '847 seems to be easier to use for satellites.The TS-790 seems to have a better receiver, and one of these days I'll use my IF-232 to run it with

The IC-9100 is far from being a bargain - one can find pristine IC-910's for around $900, or $1500 with the 1.2 GHz module installed. In my case, I have plenty of HF radios, so I just needed to add UHF and VHF. A TS-2000 goes from $1600 to $2000 ... Andreas, N6NU On Feb 25, 2011, at 12:42
