Re: [amsat-bb] TS-2000 and PL

["Edward R. Cole" <al7eb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

One question about the TS2000 (which I do not own or know much about):
Does it operate cross-band full-duplex?
If not, THAT would be most unfortunate for such an expensive "so-called"
satellite-capable radio.
Of course this does not address their other problems with birdies smack on
satellite freq's.

If had paid $2500 for such a radio and it manifest such difficiencies in
design and performance ...
I would be furious!

Instead I am happy with my FT-847.
All I will say on this subject.

TS2000 owners are the ones that have to live with their limitations.

Sorry.
