Thanks for the report. I have gotten a few questions about using it for satellites, and want to have
some solid info.

<Hi Alan,

<I've used my FT-2DE to work SO-50 both simplex and duplex, using the
<FT-2DE for the uplink and my FT-817ND for the downlink. The radio works
<well, but it is a a bit of a pity that it has only 5kHz steps.

<I haven't tried ISS packet with it yet.
