Re: [amsat-bb] HT with full-duplex capability

["Scott Medbury" <scottmed@xxxxxx>]

My choice a couple of years ago was the Icom W32a. I just program pairs of
frequencies for up and down changing as needed. If you choose memory
locations with the same number, but on the different bands, it makes
changing very simple. (i.e. for uo-14 I have the pairs start on "memory
location #30 for UHF and #30 for VHF etc.

Like many I was pleased when I saw that Icom resurrected the W32a. Unlike
most dual band HT, this radio has a BNC, NOT an SMA. Definitely a plus in my
opinion.
