Sion, another point to the DDE aspect: just working on the DDE link between SATCONTROL and HDSDR. At the moment HDSDR supports only Orbitron (Doppler tracking interval 1s), HRD and WXtrack. If I change the application name of SATCONTROL to Orbitron, the link can be established and it works. The

Mike, First of all, thank you for the very great software :) Just to clarify, in this case you will be tuning dopper at HDSDR instead of FCD control level? Which if I get it right will result in the I/Q of the pass being recorded without doppler control? 73, Sion, 9M2CQC Quoting Mike

Sion, exactly, the LO frequency of the FCD should be set to a fixed frequency, e.g. the center frequency of the pass band. You move the TUNE frequency with HDSDR through the spectrum according the doppler correction. 73, Mike DK3WN -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Sion Chow Q. C.
