[amsat-bb] question about yaesu ft-90r

["Bruce Paige" <kk5do@xxxxxxxx>]

does anyone know if the yaesu ft-90r will allow you to listen to two bands at once. 
i know it is a 2m/70cm mobile radio. the literature does not say anything about it. 

i am planning on using it for uo-14 and ao-27 as it is nice and small and full power 
(50w on 2m and 35w on 70cm). although i won't need all that power on the 
satellite. i suspect i will have to switch between my tx memory and my rx memory 
to use it. that is why i wondered if it would let you use a sub band for rx while you 
are transmitting on the main band. i don't care about full duplex, if i wanted that, i 
would get a satellite radio. 

any comments are welcome and please send them to me directly and not to the 
list.
