My cheapest HT can do this. And my 20 year old radio can do it. So not sure about "exotic"

- jimnotgym 6y agoWhat radios are they?
- nickysielicki 6y agoKenwood's TH-D72, TH-V71A, and TM-D710G can do it. An incomplete list of full duplex vhf/uhf cross-band FM radios can be found in this reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/97jhik/getting_into_satellites_need_full_duplex_uhfvhf/e48mxpf/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/97jhik/gettin...
- jimnotgym 6y agoSure they can, but I wondered what cheap radio the OP was talking about that runs full-duplex?
- nickysielicki 6y agoYeah, there really aren't any. The cheapest option is two unwieldy independent Baofengs.
- tomfanning 6y agoA second-hand Kenwood TH-D7 is an alright choice.
- mlyle 6y agoTM-V71A isn't a HT, nor is a TM-D710G. For a new ham who's scraped together some coins and gotten an HT, the only options that I'm aware that will work are the TH-D72. AFAIK the only options are TH-D72 and Wouxun Dual.
- nickysielicki 6y agoWhile not an HT, the TM-V71A is very popular for LEO usage because you can easily ramp up to 25W when needed. See this video of John Brier KG4AKV with his front-backpack TM-V71A mount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Ukh_nT2Tg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Ukh_nT2Tg
- mlyle 6y agoI don't know of anything except Wouxun Dual and TH-D72 that can do it (that are HTs). If a D72 is your cheapest HT, then well, congrats.
- tomfanning 6y agoDual watch, or full duplex? My decades-old FT-470 can do true full duplex too, but it's less common in current radios. Just dual watch now.
