Recently, the old VHF Ericsson handheld used for the digipeater on the ISS died and it was replaced with an equivalent UHF one. This is my first time digipeating through it.

Iam using a 2m/440 cross band antenna but a fixed one. Never had any problem with VHF but UHF is a lot of different for me...
