And none of the IC-820H main receiver's controls (IF Shift, etc) worked 
while in
satellite mode.  The IC-821H had two full receivers with equal 
capability.
I believe the IC-820H could only tune in steps of 100 Hz making it poor 
for
doppler correction on the digital satellite modes.

I only got about half of what I paid for the IC-820H on resale. Thanks
