Heres another vote for the Yaesu HT rigs; I use a Yaesu VX-7R and I
appreciate being able to program a single odd band split, memory channel
(that require no pl), then I use the memory tune (MT) function on the radio
and turn one dial back and forth to adjust for Doppler and the 2 meter
transmit is ready to go anytime I squeeze the PTT. This set up works much
better for me then 5 separate memory channels for every bird. The Kenwood
HT's wont let you program that odd band split into a single memory channel,
(dont know about others) however sadly, Yaseu made it so you cannot pass pl
tones in the odd band split memory channels but of course you can pass pl
tones in the other memory or VFO modes.
In my short experience, the better question I will be asking myself next
time I purchase, is which HT has the most sensitive receiver and has enough
other functions to still get the job done, although my VX-7R receives ok,
some of the problems I had, with what seem like nulls, using the Arrow
antenna and diplexer, went away when a friend gave me a pre-amp to put
between the antenna and the HT. (the preamp is the size of a quarter and a
9 volt battery, so its still nice and portable, not commercially available,
sorry)
Sure wish we had a good full duplex, dual or tri-band, HT that had an
excellent receiver, (worked USB on both TX and RX) and had the modest other
functions we need to work the satellites but the compromised HT's are still
a bunch of fun, with a portable Yagi in the trunk, a spare 19 minutes
(including set up) and a pass prediction schedule, can bring a big smile to
my face when I am out and about, in the car.

>> ... "what is the best current handheld for FM sats"??
We do not have a currently-manufactured TRUE DUPLEX HT available. Alinco
tried - but the sub-band receive performance on their DJ-G7T is gruesome.
I use and like the Yaesu FT-60R - for MANY reasons ...
-Receives 108 to a gig
-bulletproof case
-strongest belt clip of any amateur HT chassis on the market
-easy to manually program
-1,000+ memories
-large, easy-to-read display
-and a battery situation that is great. Load up the optional FBA-25 AA
alkaline tray with alkalines or NiMH cells, and you have FULL TX POWER
available, is needed. Do that on, say, a Kenwood TH-F6a, and you have
ONE-HALF WATT TX power.
Oh - and the Yaesu FT-60R can be programmed for "split freq" ops - where is
receives on 440 and transmits on 2M.
Overall, it is a tremendous value for your money. Under $200 at HRO and AES
and other authorized Yaesu dealers.

Actually, you can program PL tones in the odd-split memories on a
Yaesu radio. You just have to program the tones with both of the
frequencies - even if you only need a PL on the transmit frequency.
Make sure the "T" is lit up for a transmitted PL when you are putting
the first (receive) frequency into the odd-split memory.
I have never tried the Memory Tune function on Yaesu HTs. I have
a VX-8R at home, but previously had a VX-2R and VX-3R that worked
OK for satellites. I may give that a try. Still not a full-duplex setup, but
an interesting way to deal with tuning the receiver for the FM birds.
Another item on the "to-do" list...

That would be nice. Until that ever materializes, I've settled on a pair
of FT-817NDs for my all-mode full-duplex portable satellite setup. Not
as small as an HT, but that pair of radios is certainly adequate for
what I do. Having higher-capacity internal rechargeable packs lets
me run 5W without worrying about an external power source, or I can
plug either (or both) 817s into a 12V jumpstart battery for extended
operating time.
After setting up the 817s many times at hamfests or in the field, I don't
need much more time with the two 817s compared to using an HT or
a 2m/70cm FM mobile radio. Hamfest demos using the two 817s on
VO-52 or AO-7 have drawn much more interest in recent times, and
they will be with me at the next hamfest I attend on Saturday (13th). :-)

Just had to weigh in on this occasionally recurring issue. I have now had a
KWood D-7 for a year and there is nothing like full duplex. Sawson, KG6NUB
and I both use them and routinely work the country with an AR-800 whip, or
down to 50 MW on his Arrow or my Elk for real "gain". Being able to hear
your downlink may not be absolutely necessary, but it takes away all guess
work. These radios also do an excellent job digipeating over ISS (when the
D'ptr is turned on), using the built in tnc. Best part, these radios
continue to pop up on the used market in excellent condition.

Hi!
I will have an AMSAT table at the Scottsdale Amateur Radio Club's
Springfest hamfest on Saturday morning, 13 March 2010. For the
first time in about 20 years, this hamfest has a new location. It
will be in the parking lot at the Fort McDowell Casino, along the
Beeline Highway (Arizona route 87) a couple of miles northeast of
Shea Boulevard on the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation reservation.
The hamfest officially runs from 7am to 1pm (1400-2000 UTC),
although it typically wraps up before noon.
During the hamfest, I will do several on-air demonstrations using a
variety of satellites as WD9EWK. Even though the hamfest does not
officially start until 1400 UTC, I may be on passes as early as
1300 UTC. I will attempt to work passes on two FM satellites (AO-51
and SO-50) along with 3 SSB satellites (AO-7, FO-29, VO-52) from
the hamfest, located in either grid DM43dn or DM43do depending on
the parking lot the hamfest uses. With K4T on this weekend, I will
try not to get in their way on the SSB passes. I will try to be in
the upper half of the downlink passband for each of these satellites
(and, if possible, work K4T during one of the demonstrations), but
not park too close to their planned frequencies. If there is
activity at the hamfest until 2000 UTC, I will also try to work an
HO-68 pass at 1920-1933 UTC around 145.950 MHz USB on that downlink.
Anyone working WD9EWK on Saturday wanting a QSL card for any contacts
only needs to e-mail me with the QSO details. If you're in the log,
you will get a card. Making contacts with regular operators is a
great help with the demonstrations; stations typically make the normal
exchange along with briefly mentioning the city/town and state they
are in. This helps to reinforce that a low-power portable VHF/UHF
station can reach out across North America via satellite.
Thanks in advance, and 73!

Not that it's likely any time soon. What's that, a month or so now
since any real activity? It was on for an hour two weeks ago, but
that's been about it.

GM all "bird" watchers (or is that workers),
I just wanted to say a BIG THANKS to Jim and Cori for their satellite road
trip. I think they are home by now, or maybe today. I just
can't wait to see the write up and some of the pictures from their trip. I
think they were on the road for 48 days! Thousands of miles
and dollars spent just to give the rest of us new grid squares. And if you
were lucky enough to work all of the grids, it would almost
give you a VUCC in less than two months.
Thanks again from all of us. I can't imagine the writer's cramp from all of
those QSL cards. Hi Hi
73 all,

I just want to let everyone that is following my planned operation to

announcements. Since I will not have a set operating schedule while I'm
up there, I will send out an email right before I go on the with my

than just telling people to watch the DX cluster.

Jim did a great job in operating from at least 86
different grids. A graphical representation of those
grids is on my webserver. Red grids are ones that I
worked him in. Blue grids are the ones I missed.

As Rick said, one could have almost completed VUCC by just
working ND9M/p over the course of 6 weeks. Congratulations
Jim on a stellar operation!

I would like to also acknowledge Jim and Cori for providing this growing,
enthusiastic Satellite Community with an exciting 48 days of Grid Exploring,
I can't wait for the video! To those who say working thru Amateur

I had a blast working him every day or every other day-it sure made the
afternoon and evening satellite passes something to look forward to even
more than usual.

Thanks to Jim ND9M, your expedition and explorations of this new grids that
gave us a lot more to advance on this great hobby, I did not work all the
grids from Jim's trip, but I'm more then happy with the big bunch that I
collect, Thanks a lot for all your support and we wish you and Cory a safe

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
I've received several inquiries about the software
that was used to create the ND9M/p road trip grid
square plot:
http://www.papays.com/nd9m.jpg
The program is a Great Circle Map generator with some
very nice features created by SM3GSJ. KD8CAO originally
discovered this program and posted info about it on the amsat-bb.
It is called GcmWin.
Since that time, Roger has added some functionality that
makes it very suitable for those who chase grids. Originally,
to plot grid square data, a 6 character grid designation was
required. Roger changed it so that 4 character grids were
acceptable. In addition, only one set of grid square data
could be overlayed on the map. He graciously changed the software
so that two different colors from two different grid square files
could be plotted. Now you can show your confirmed grids in one
color and your worked grids in another. The program has many
other features related to propagation that might interest those
who work HF.
The homepage for the software is:
http://www.qsl.net/sm3gsj/
I am thinking about creating a webpage that could be used as a
repository for posting these maps for anyone that is interested
in having their plot on line. Let me know if you're interested.
You can view my plot at:
http://www.papays.com/k8ysegrids.jpg
My radius is set at 8200 miles which is a compromise between detail
and the maximum distance that can be worked on AO-7. If you decrease
the radius, more detail can be shown. You can include grid square
numbers if you make the radius small enough. Red is confirmed and
Blue is worked. The map doesn't include cards received after 1 Jan 10.
Thanks to Roger SM3GSJ for making this program available!

Doug KD8CAO will likely be in EN60 for the 2105z
and 2243z passes of AO-51 on 10 March. He will also
likely operate from EN60 on the 12 March 2303z AO-51 pass.
EN60 hasn't been on much so it would be a good one to
work if you don't have it.
