I'm totally over the moon with it! Actually got to speak to a few people last night which I hadn't been able to before at home. Thanks for the recommendation slipknot (and a couple of others too).

Hmmm... in another thread I was asking for opinions on the Yaesu 7800 vs 8800 - perhaps I would have a use for the 8800 then to contact the ISS?

I heard two local stations using the cross band repeater function last night.
Downlink audio was on 145.800 MHz, uplink is 437.800 MHz.

*phew* I was desperate to get in with the short breaks they were leaving - quite a long pass and almost directly overhead which I think helped me to get on.

Yep, on the VX7R - I spent my lunchtime at work today programming 5 channels with the offsets including doppler shifts as it went over, I'm pleased it worked, it took aaages!
