[amsat-bb] FT3000m on FM sats

[Juan Antonio Fernandez]

Hi John

I have a FT300M in my movil station for years. It works great with FM sats
with 1/4 whip on the roof.  You will only need a headset if you want to work
in full-duplex, although in half-duplex also works fine beacuse of its high
power, near of 70 Watts.

But I enjoy receiving with a UHF hand held HT and a CJU antenna attached to
it and using the FT3000M with a 1/4 whip antenna to uplink.

Has anyone on the list used a Yaesu FT3000M on the Mode J FM sats?  Does it
have pretty good receive sensitivity for the birds?  Can it do full duplex,
where you can hear your own downlink?  What I have seen written about it
seems to indicate that it can.  Any other comments-good or bad-about this
model?
