I am finally in the market for a base station radio for satellites. I should
mention that I am also planning to install a wire dipole in the backyard for HF
work, but convenience shouldn't be the reason to buy/not to buy a radio.....
It seems that the Icom 910 and Yaesu 847 are the two main transceivers in base
use for satellites. I know some folks are using the Kenwood TS2000, bu i t I
understand thatit has a "birdie" that makes operation on a couple FM satellites
challenging. I am hoping to work both the linear and fm birds with this
transceiver.
Is there a BB favorite? Have I just opened up a bad can of worms? I just want
to make sure that I am purchasing the proper parts the first time....
Thanks,
Zach
