Hello:
Forgive me if I am posting this in an inappropriate location.
I've been reading through "Getting Started with Amateur Satellites," published by AMSAT. Lots of good information. However, I'd like to begin considering budgeting for an appropriate transceiver. I'd like to avoid an all in one, such as the Yaesu 847 or the Icom 9100. I have the HF realm covered.
My two questions are:
Which radio is recommended for sat work and...
It appears there are something in the neighborhood of five bands to consider: My guess is that 2M and 70cm are the most used. Am I correct?
Hope my questions aren't too pedestrian and do not elicit mockery and finger pointing : )
