Actually, it's both. There is very noticeable desense, and the sub-band VFO
is less sensitive

QST's reviewers disappointed me with that mis-statement, as well as recently
calling the Wouxun HTs "dual-receive" units - which they most definitely are
NOT.

I don't recall specifics, but I remember thinking the QST review really missed

Drew,
Is it just de-sense, or lower sensitivity on the sub-band? I have one on
loan I am going to try (A-B compare to my FT-530 with the Arrow), as soon as
I find a SMA-BNC adapter in my shack.
I read the QST review and the author said "no issue" except for same-band
sub-band, but he is not an
Big thumbs down, as the full duplex desenses very badly. Nice radio otherwise,
but stinks for satellite. I bought one of the first hundred, and have kept up
