[amsat-bb] Best HT for satellite operation?

[skristof at etczone.com]

I've used two Baofengs to work SO-50, and the V transmission from one
still desenses the U reception in the other one, even though they are
two separate radios. 

Do I put low-pass filter in the transmission line to squash that third
harmonic?
