The Yaesu FT-726 was a decent sat rig back in the day. Cons: Low power output ( only ten watts ) and limited frequency coverage on UHF ( either 430-440 or 440-450 but not the full range )
I think it lacked the tracking VFOs implemented in the FT-736 which was a real nice feature. Also no CAT control with this rig which was what motivated me to trade up to a pair of Icom twins ( IC-271 and IC-471 ). For the money though, it would be hard to balk. 73, Bob W1ICW _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
