Hi Dick, You can do at least this two different ways:
1) With ver 12.8 you can setup multiple configurations that can be switched easily from within the program. It's very nice--you can have different a different tracker, radios, satellites, etc.! Just use the menu Setup/Configuration and you'll see what I mean...maybe that will let you set the rigs up two ways? As I recall there are four different configurations that can be selected. (Hint--when starting out, I just copied all the files from Config1 (default) to the Config2 folders so I didn't have to redo EVERYTHING....just small changes where I needed them) OR 2) You can run both 12.8 and 12.7 simultaneously! Under Windows7 (63-bit here) ver 12.7 "fusses" at start up about an IOPort driver, but just click OK and it runs perfectly (well, I suspect that IOPort driver error means it wouldn't run a KCT interface or something...). I do this option for running my old TS-790A as a S-band receiver (from a downconverter at the antenna of course). CAT control works perfectly. That way I can leave my TS-2000x "as is" under 12.8 and then run the Ts-790A when I need to for mode S. This is really helpful when we run AO-51 in mode V/SU like we are doing right now---I can monitor on both receivers at the same time and still have the V-band uplink via the TS-2000x. Hope that info inspires you to experiment!! 73, Mark N8MH At 05:46 PM 12/19/2010 +0000, Richard Ferryman wrote: >I use SatPC32 configured for two FT-817 transceivers for cross band duplex >working.
