i've learned something new today in a letter from arrl. it seems that the tmv71a will recieve ao51. but, it seems not to be true, as far as i know. have you people had any luck working it? maybe i need a splitter and an egg beater antenna for each band. pluss i might need a preamp. hey, wht do i know? i've worked ao51 with the tmv7 when i had the radio. 

i'm a member of amsat. because i want to help them out. so you experts, please help me out on this list. please tell me what type antennas i need. and we'll do our best, when we have the money.
