Happens many times. Across three pc's all good hardware.
Makes me want to cry..
I've got better things to do than spend more time troubleshooting software
problems.

Hi all,
I have been checking on the status of UO-11 ( Uosat-2 ) for our weekly
Amsat -UK 80 metre Net report.
Noticed that it is no longer listed on the OSCAR satellite status page run

Hi,
So I've got satpc32 running rotors and radios automatically. Radio is ic-910h.
I have Interest to record and decode CW satellite telemetry to text and then
use the DK3WN tools to decode.
Any suggestion for two things:
1. what to use to record the audio from the radio automatically ?
2.
I use SatPC32 since many years - now, since about 3 months on
Windows 8 (both 32bit and 64 bit) and no complaints !
I have however learned to run the program as Administrator (set
the corresponding flag (properties / compatibilty / )) , so that
SatPC32 can control my rotor interface

You might take a look at MixW , AWGPE or Packet Engine Pro for decoding
packet.
These are software modems so you won't need a TNC.
If you are decoding 9600 Baud packets, make sure you get your audio output
from pin 4 of the 910H main or sub band data sockets, use pin 5 for 1200
baud.
Have a look at Scanner Recorder. It maybe what you need to record the audio
from the radio and its free.

Hello to all!
I have an old desktop PC dedicated to ham radio ( 1 GHz Pentium CPU, 256 MB
of RAM and Win XP). I have had SatPC32 running 24x7 since December and I
have never had a SatPC32 crash.

To ALL,
I have used Sat PC for several years on XP, and Vista. It crashes on me if I
disconnect the USB serial connection to the radio, otherwise it is a well
behaved program. How the bios handles the USB ports is computer specific and
could be the cause of the crashing.

And it's free. And that includes not having to pay for anti-virus
software on top of paying for the O/S (though in this case apparently
Win 7 is already there), or reboot for the ever-coming patches. And even
if you use the free AV software, it still takes up valuable CPU and
memory resources,
Hello Art,
The USB port of the IC-9100 is a built in USB-to-Serial adapter. If you
disconnect the USB cable from the PC the COM port to/from which the
program sends/receives data is no longer available. The link is
interrupted. The same happens when you switch off the radio while the

I had numerous crashes with satPC32 until I followed the suggestion of several

internal serial to USB adapter with a serial IC and then use an external USB to

The entire time I've been running SatPC32, I've been using a Keyspan
4-port USB-to-serial converter.
I run my FT-847, my Fox Delta rotor interface, and my HP Z3801
Timebase/GPS clock without ANY crashes.
People may complain that these adapters cost too much, and then they
buy multiple cheap

I'd only use the 32 bit version on a machine with 4GB RAM. The amount

Today while working the sats with Satpc32 the G-5500 would rotate east to
west but not return with a call from PSTrotator.
It seemed to get progressively worse and I would have to return the rotator
to east manualy using the manual box. I checked for broken wires from the
rotator to the manual box
Hello Philip,
I use SatPC32 using VMWARE. The XP OS is running as a guest on my Linux PC.
Serial ports for radio/antenna work but there is no driver for a
parallel port.
It might take a bit of effort to set up but I can run just about
anything using
Windows as just another process under
