Hi Steve,
>>AO-51,435300,145880,USB,FM,Nor,0,0,Voice V/U

Looks like you have your uplink/downlink modes reversed
     SO-50,436795,145850,FM,FM,NOR,0,0

Satellite Name - Name matching the name in the Keplerian Elements file
Downlink Frequency - True frequency in KHz on which the satellite is 
transmitting
Uplink Frequency - True frequency in KHz on which the satellite is receiving
Downlink Mode - emission used for this satellite on this downlink frequency
Uplink Mode - emission used for this satellite on this uplink frequency
Tracking Mode - whether the uplink and downlink frequencies track in normal 
or reverse mode
Downlink Offset - downlink offset in KHz (see Section 5 below)
Uplink Offset - uplink offset in KHz (see Section 5 below)

While the have the correct uplink/downlink frequencies listed, each radio is 
a little different and using SatPC32 to control your radio Doppler will 
necessite tweaking these numbers slightly.

Be sure and read the section in the SatPC32 Manual & FAQs under CAT on 
adjusting your offset.  The FM downlink is easy to adjust by looking at your 
Discriminator meter reading on your receiver (if you have this feature).
The uplink calibration can be set in steps of 10, 100 or 1000 Hz with the 
corresponding up/down controls in the "CAT" menu. The 10-Hz steps can also 
be set with the "normal" +/- keys, the 100-Hz steps with the +/- keys of the 
numeric block of the keyboard.

Once set and stored you should be able to click on this mode under CAT and 
you will always be good to go.

Hope you enjoy this mode.

73,
Gould, WA4SXM
