Greetings to all.
I am looking for owners and potential owners of the

Opinions and thoughts of each radio appreciated.

SSB for me too, F0-29 V0-52.
Can't raise any consistent enthusiasm for FM birds with the
exception of
our
friends up in the ISS.
I can have the same abuse much more easily on the local FM
repeater. :-)
So the TS2000 has a birdie, OK, but for those

I don't think the 910 or the 847 has any birdies in the sat frequencies. It
anyone finds any I would like to know. It is a shame about the 2000, it is a
much better HF TXR then the 847

Are you mistaken? I don't think the TS2000 has a birdie at 145.800MHz.
It does have one at 436.800MHz.
I would agree with your other comments.

Hi Norman,
This is a topic that surfaces every so often and is not an easy one to
answer.
So my two penneth worth is this!
If you are only interested in VHF and above, Satellites and terrestrial
work - the 910 every time.
If you want a shack in a box that can do (primarily) HF, then the TS

The reason I say primarily is that the TS exhibits a birdie
right in
the downlink frequency for SO-50 which renders use of that bird more

Drew just e-mailed me about my comment:
/
It may only affect one bird but there are not that many left up there
and no plans to get any more up! /
and that that might be misleading!
I am happy to correct my statement by saying that what I was referring
to was the easy sats, the FM voice, 2m up
I cut my teeth on Oscar 6 and 7, 2M UP, 10M DOWN, SSB.

For me, it was RS-10, where I had my first satellite contact in 1991.
:) Again, 2m up, 10m down SSB. My first FM contact was much later,
in 1999 on SO-35. I did try RS-12/13, but it
Ditto K8CXM's comments. I have much less enthusiam for the FM sats than FO29,
AO7 and VO52. Using SATPC, these are a piece of cake to regularly work with no
crowds, big footprints and super doppler control. Also, notwithstanding the
birdie, I have no difficulty working SO50 or AO27 once the
