Hi Mike. Full duplex is where you can receive the signal from the satellite at the same time as you are transmitting up to it. It allows you to hear your own signal through the satellites transponder. So you know if your signal made it, or if it was submerged under someone else who was transmi

Hi Mike, Full duplex is pretty simple: Listening to the downlink (receive) while *simultaneously* transmitting on the uplink. This enables you to hear you transmission WHILE YOU ARE TRANSMITTING - at the same time. There are a lot of benefits behind operating this way, the main one being red

Mike, It depends on the transceiver that you have. Essentially the up link and down link are using different bands, U and V for example. If you transmit on a V uplink your transmission is transmitted back on the downlink on a U frequency. If your transceiver is capable of duplex operation, you c
