There is a general issue with sat handhelds at speeds above say 100kt. I am currently looking into this for a project for data in the cockpit. Some handsets are better than others, apparently, and 160kt+ has not been a problem with some of them.

The fixed installations (expensive) are fine because they have doppler correction.
