Re: [amsat-bb] W32 and desense

["James" <kb7tbt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately a W32 is probably the worst idea to have when attaching an 
external antenna.

Twin band operations with just the standard rubber dummy antenna is 
marginal.

Icom discontinued the W32 because it was a hunk of junk but people kept on 
asking for it because it was the cheapest true twin band HT radio out on the 
market. So of course if they can sell a product they will regardless if it 
is worthless.

I owned a W32 for 1 day, the intermod and desence was unbelievable. I 
brought it back and got a T7H.
