With the purchase of a Flex 5000A I'm pretty well set in the radio department but I'm curious. Isn't Kenwood also coming out with a new radio soon? Does it have satellite capability? Since Yaesu is apparently uninterested in producing a satellite radio at this point in time, I'm wondering if Kenwood will continue it's support of sat ops. Flex should have it's V/U module out very soon now and the more manufacturers who support this branch of the hobby the better off it will be. 73, Michael, W4HIJ On 4/19/2010 1:54 PM, Clint Bradford wrote: > Icom is expecting to show the prototype of IC-9100.
