One potential problem that would need to be handled for satellite uplink
duty is that the transmitter must be able to change frequency while
transmitting to allow for doppler correction.  I haven't found a way to do
this in limited testing on my K2. Admittedly, I haven't tried very hard,
either.  Just turned the main tuning knob in SSB or tune mode transmit.  The
new frequency is available when I relese the transmit keying device, but it
doesn't move while I am transmitting.  Might be a little tricky at the 5 kHz
"bumps."
