Robert,
do you have the same problem with FO-29 and VO-52 (you can check that
without these sats in range)?
Send me a copy of your entries for AO-07 in Doppler.SQF, please.
73s, Erich, DK1TB

Subject: [amsat-bb] Help Hawaii get on AO73 (FT-847 SatPC32 issues
Aloha
For years I have run HRD and SATPC32 in conjunction. HRD controls my
Doppler and SatPC32 controls my rotator (tracking).
In light of several new birds it seems prudent to operate my Yaesu FT847
with only one software package. I understand how to
add birds, keps, frequencies etc into SatPc32 so that is the program of
choice.
With my radio in the non satellite mode (APRS happened to be on both the
xmit and recv side 144.390)
1. When I start up SATPC32 the radio goes into the Satellite MODE (good).
In today's case AO7 was the bird active in the program.
2. The UPlink and Downlink DOPPLER are moving correctly on the computer
screen within SATPC32.
3. The FT-847 receive VFO (main VFO) has the correct frequency for example
AO7 (145950 MHz USB) and it is running properly with the
Doppler frequency changes.
4. The FT-847 transmit VFO (sub VFO) has some random frequency displayed
(145962 FM): This VFO frequency is stable and not following
the Doppler changes I see on the xmit frequency of SatPC32.
5. If I xmit (PTT) the transit side of radio displays ERROR.
6. Under setup> radio setup the CAT delay is 20, Satellite MODE is checked
and the radio is correct.
A brief check of the Operating manual doesn't appear to acknowledge
software control per se.
I just need to get the xmit piece functional.
Any insight, recommendations, suggestions greatly appreciated. Mahalo
Respectfully,
robert smith, NH7WN
Honolulu
PS: Due to computer overload fm the BBS and EME bbs and others I
"disconnected" , it may be best to email me directly at [email protected]
if you have comments. Mahalo
