I have made 1000+ contacts via satellites using a TM-D700 and TM-D710.  The receive is excellent. Without a preamp, I can work any of the current FM birds from AOS to LOS.  I'm always on the lookout for deals on used ones locally.  I actually prefer the 700 for portable since I can run a serial cable right to the front of the radio to interface with UISS on my laptop.
