Main drawback appears to be that they are not full duplex... but at those prices, why not buy TWO?
All of my full duplex sat operation has been with 2 radios, so why not. :) There are some advantages of running two radios, especially where the uplink is on UHF, as with some radios, adjusting the uplink for Doppler can be fiddly. With 2 radios, you simply tweak the relevant VFO knob. :)
