Hello Dick,
the special program version for in-band operation over the ISS -
SatPC32ISS - unfortunately doesn't support the FT-817 (see SatPC32ISS
menu "?", "SatPC32ISS").
So, try the "normal" SatPC32. Make sure that the FT-817 display shows VFOa.
If it displays VFOb click button "A" below the display to change the VFOs.
Then select the ISS. The display should now show the RX frequency of the
first entry for the ISS in Doppler.SQF. During TX the uplink frequency
should be displayed.
I have tested that with my FT-817 and it seems to work.
My settings:
CAT Baudrate 38400,
CAT delay 110,
all options in menu "Radio Setup" unchecked.
the radio switched to Split mode.
73s, Erich, DK1TB

Subject: [amsat-bb] SatPC32 sets FT-817 doppler reversed
I am getting a problem with SatPC32 V. 12.8b and CAT control FT-817ND. The
doppler correction is perfect with two separate FT-817s, one for TX and
one for RX. Recently I have been having problems when using one FT-817
simplex for ISS and similar sats. SatPC32 is calculating correct downlink
frequency with doppler correction but is setting the rig to the uplink
frequency during receive and downlink frequency during transmit. Sometimes
it works correctly but more often it has this problem. I slowed the CAT
rate in case there were errors but no improvement. Any ideas or
suggestions please?
Dick
