Just has a conversation with N0BVE, Don, via his EchoLink setup. Don is at
Dayton. Don walked to the Kenwood booth, and asked the Kenwood rep directly
(well, they heard me asking on Don's radio), "Is this unit true, full-duplex
- where we can monitor the sub-band while transmitting on the primary band?"
The Kenwood rep answered too quickly - after just hearing the word,
"duplex." Unfortunately, marketing terms and ham terms are not always carry
the same definitions. When I re-asked the question, the rep was not sure.
Don, although using a Yaesu VX-7R at the show, knows Kenwood radios (and
remembers his TH-78a - which WAs a TRUE, full-duplex radio). So Don grabs
the new Kenwood HT, and tries to program "our scenario" for working the FM
satellites: monitor 435.000 while transmitting on 2M. He couldn't get it to
do it - but that was because the radio needed to be reset, after so many
messing around with it.
SO, we really do not know. We do not have a preliminary instruction manual.
We do not have a submission to the FCC for certification. GPS/APRS features
look intriguing. But we still do not know if this is a TRUE, full-duplex unit.
I know - although preferable, it is NOT *mandatory* that we work the FM
amateur satellites in true, full-duplex mode. But it would be nice to have
another rig - in addition to the Alinco DJ-G7 - on which to use this
operating mode.

P.S. - W6GPS (another "Don") just told me that it IS a true, full-duplex
unit. But he hasn't actually seen it in that op mode. And so it goes ...

C'mon, fellow sat folks. This is another unique AMSAT item up on eBay.
(Remember the prototype AO-40 mounting bracket auction? I have it!)
Not only will your bid/donation DOUBLE with the DARA pledge ... but your CPA
will probably advise you that there's a tax incentive for next April 15 by
purchasing this item!

Hi Reid,
I am not at Dayton, but the callsign being used is W5IU and the operator is
Keith. He has been on HO-68 a couple of times.
So, if you hear that call, that is Dayton the demo station.

Not a bad price at all considering it does true dualband receive. The next
cheapest radio that does true dualband receive is the FTDX5000, and look how
much it costs, and it doesn't give you 2m, 70cm, or 1.2g.

Hi Reid,
Unfotunately we shut down operations at Dayton when the show closed for
the day at 2100Z. Check for mutual windows tomorrow on the vrious sats
in the morning passes (between 1200Z and 1600Z). Hopefully W5IU will be
able to work you, and anyone else on the birds).

Just left Dayton a few hours ago.? Icom said that it is basically a 7600 and
a 910.? It is bigger than the 910.? It was in a display case so I can't tell
you what the feel was like of the weight.? Price is in the $4,000.00 range
so that will kill a lot of the satellite market if you ask me.

guess like many we were hoping that the spec's might actually be better
then the 'old' old 910 , mainly better uhf/vhf performance /sensitivity
Maybe it does? It's a rig I 'want to like'.
if it has similar spec's and costs more , and you were mostly
interested in the birds I guess finding a 910 wouldn't be bad
