[amsat-bb] Wouxun / Powerwerx KG-UV8E / KG-UV8T as full duplex FM sat handheld?

[Paul Stoetzer]

Pavel,

Unfortunately you will find that it will desense when transmitting on
2 meters and receiving on 70 cm, but may be OK for transmitting on 70
cm while receiving on 2 meters.

I think WD9EWK has tested one. Perhaps he can provide some first-hand
experience of how it performs.

73,
