[Elecraft] Re: K2 vs IC-7000 for satellite use.

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

I have the IC-7800 which I would use with the Elecraft transverters were I 
to need duplex :-)

My plan is to use the IC-78000 for rx on satellites anyway.

Simon-

I don't believe that either the K2 or the Icom IC-7000 are suitable for
satellite use. For optimum performance and minumum frustration, you really
need full-duplex, cross band capability. You must be able to transmit on one
band, while simultaneously receiving on another band. I don't think the
IC-7000 supports this mode. Be sure before you decide.
