my first transciever was a HT. i bought it second hand 10 years ago and it
does split operation. maybe it's time for a newer rig, huh? btw, i tried
many times and i was never able to work mir or the shuttle until i got a
mobile radio...second hand too. so don't get your hopes up of making any
ISS contacts with a HT even if you go out and buy a new one. hope this helps.
