[amsat-bb] Best trx for SATs

[Burns Fisher]

I had a TS-2000.  It's biggest issue is a birdie in the downlink of
SO-50--other than that I liked it ok.  I have since upgraded to a 9700.  I
get it is really costly, but a lot of nice features, including a built-in
pan-adapter that makes linears much easier!
