Hi!

After previously trying a couple of Wouxun dual-band HTs with AO-85 in the
past few weeks (KG-UV8D, KG-UV9D) on AO-85, I went back to a radio I
briefly tested before the AMSAT Symposium last month: the AnyTone TERMN-8R
2m/70cm FM HT. I didn't have much time to try it out then, but I gave it a
try this afternoon on a 48-degree AO-85 pass over the west coast. I used
the same settings in it that I did with the Wouxun KG-UV9D I tested last
weekend, so I could have a baseline to compare this radio against. I was
not surprised with the results.
