They are very popular with satellite operators, due to the full duplex
capability. Currently if you want full duplex, not just split band
operation, your only real choice is the Kenwood TH-7, which has a lot
of APRS functions as well.
So I looked at the Kenwood Th-D7A like you mentioned. I noticed the
manual says it's not capable of doing less than 438 Mhz.
Is this a hard rule with this device? Because a lot of the satellites
that I want to work are a little bit less than this. Like AO-51 which
has a downlink of 435.300 MHz.
As I've said, this is my first radio purchase so I just want to make
sure it will do what I want.
Any help is most appreciated.

According the the QST reviews of both the TH-D7A (Aug 1999) and the
TH-D7A(G) (Apr 2008) the transmitter frequency coverage as measured in
their lab is 430-450 MHz. Kenwood shows 438-450 MHz for both of them.
