Well the IC-7800 would drive 2m and 70cms transverters, later also a 1.2 GHz
transverter and a 2.4 GHz converter (RX only). As I have the IC-7800 which
is a great radio especially with the panoramic display I want to make more
use of it. When using a Linear transponder such as that on FO-29 or VO-52
(Hamsat) I can see where / if there is any activity.
For satellite tracking everything is controlled via software, the typical
SAT support in the IC-910H, TS-2000 and FT-847 isn't needed if you use a PC
to properly correct for Doppler, in fact it's much better to just use a PC.
And I can also use the IC-7800 for RX only and TX via the IC-703 - many
satellite users use two radios rather than a single transceiver.
Or I could use 2 x K2 :-)

Simon,
I am curious; in what way would the IC-7800 function as a control unit for
satellite tracking?
