In "portable" operation it does not help at all, if you don't have internet. We have discussed this here and elsewhere many times and the ignorance to rules given by the QO-100 Transponder Bandplan and Guidelines is sometimes disappointing. The other point is about simplex operation: it's a step back, in particular if you don't want to carry another computer with an SDR. So in this case the IC-705 is nothing special or new. I was not only thinking about QO-100, but also about portable QO-100 and LEO satellite operation.Ĭonclusion: The ICOM IC-705 is definitely NOT READY for Satellites. I know and trust that you are an experienced person and you know what you are doing. The waterfall display for transmission check can be achieved by the WEB-SDR or with a tablet with the SDR-Console / RTL-Stick which i have built in at my transverter. It is just a simplex transceiver, but i always use the same QRG stabilized by GPS for TX and RX, so there is no need for a satellite mode.
