Re: [amsat-bb] Rigs for FM Sats including AO-51 (Echo)

["Alan Strom" <alanstrom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
I have an ADI AT-600 which meets these criteria except for cross band
memory storage.  Not having cross band memory storage is workable, though
it adds steps & makes having a friend or tripod to hold the antenna a plus.
