@rdavies6 @harmlesshamCQ @K5PO @K0NR The D72 is still a good radio for FM sats. Maybe the AT-D890UV will bring some sanity to the prices some try to get for a D72. Or maybe those prices will remain high, but at least there is one option for a handheld radio currently in production supporting full-duplex operating.

@WD9EWK @harmlesshamCQ @K5PO @K0NR Thank you! I wouldn’t have know about this handie unless I saw your tweet…I would have still been living in the dark ages, assuming some ancient full duplex Kenwood D72A was the only portable answer (assuming you could find one)…

Handheld radio, powered by Starlink... L3Harris has unveiled the XL-300P, the first P25 land mobile radio with native 5G and satellite direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity. It will support Starlink via T-Mobile's "T-Satellite" service, it guarantees first responders ultimate triple-layered redundancy (P25, cellular, satellite) so they never lose critical communications.

@rdavies6 @harmlesshamCQ @K5PO @K0NR Yes, I have been using my AT-D890UV to work FM satellites full-duplex for a few weeks. Using memory channels in both VFOs; built-in satellite tracking/tuning function only works half-duplex. I have a codeplug for full-duplex FM satellite operating at: dropbox.com/scl/fo/9sx6mx7…

@ARISS_Intl Caught the ISS around 0730 UTC in north Phoenix/DM33, repeater was still on & sounding good. Besides me, there were stations in California, Iowa, & Florida before my LOS. I worked N6HA in California, couldn't get QSOs with the other 2. Using Anytone AT-D890UV & Elk log periodic.

Worked the ISS pass around 0810 UTC tonight, AT-D890UV/Elk combo in DM33-land. Two stations out at that hour, W6PS/CM88 & N6UA/CM98. Worked W6PS earlier from DM43-land. Nice way to take a break from a late night in the office...

@M0URX I was able to stop getting those QSLs by using an unsubscribe link in one of those e-mails for each of my call signs. Then the new e-mails came in yesterday. IMO not a good way to (try to) salvage his reputation.

@WD9EWK It’s a crock of shite Patrick. I am inundated with them every day. Now got to the point that I am invalidating all Qs from these people using the platform. I asked the owner to remove my email address. He laughed and told me it wasn’t his problem.

I thought I unsubscribed from QSLworld a few weeks ago, after getting several of their QSLs. Today, new e-mails with apologies & claims that these new e-mails aren't marketing e-mails. Then why the tracking links at the bottom of the e-mails (including unsubscribe links)??

@AA5UK I used an unsubscribe link in one of the e-mails, and went to a one-question survey page before the site said I was unsubscribed. For the other e-mails, the unsubscribe links took me directly to a page saying I was unsubscribed. I didn't take time to write a reply to the e-mails.

I don't know what format the AT-D890UV uses for its audio recordings. Icom likes WAV on its radios, like the ID-4100 I previously mentioned. Have to get that missing file installed, & hope that's all I need to get this working...

The AT-D890UV CPS software is used to pull the audio from the radio, except I saw an error when I tried to do this. Running on a Win11 Pro laptop, IIRC 25H2. This file isn't present on my laptop, guess I need to get it from somewhere.

Tried the recording function on my AT-D890UV during an ISS pass Tuesday evening. On the radio, I could see 48 files for that pass - similar to how some Icom radios record audio (i.e., ID-4100) - new file for each change from RX to TX & vice versa, maybe even with freq changes.
