@dennymagdule4372 yep and there were so many people no one heard me lol! I did good on SO-50 that video will be up soon

I got this one question Captain Don

[@m0giw49]

the 878 is not full Duplex, so you just added to the QRM as you cannot tell if a contact is going on while you are TX'ing. LEO sats should always be full Duplex. It just turns a pass of ISS into a bin fire and no one ends up making any contacts

@m0giw49 show me a full duplex HT and I'll use it. I've made over 1000 Satellite QSOs and I know how to work them not being full duplex. Even my Kenwood TS-2000 which IS Full Duplex I don't hear myself on 60% of passes on FM Birds. Now SSB Birds that's a different story and yes you definitely need full duplex on SSB Birds.
