[amsat-bb] Re: Flex-5000 AND K3 as a satellite radio

[Edward Cole]

Just wading into the discussion late.

The FLEX-5000 and K3 both have independent dual receiver options so 
making a satellite radio is a software issue.  Write radio control 
program and they can do it.  Dual-polarity eme reception is not a 
slam-dunk, however.  I still want a K3 but Santa might not bring 
it.  MY aging FT-847 still works.  A dual SDR-IQ would be nice, also.
