The IC-910H can only do same-band satellite TX and RX if operating in 
"split" mode, not satellite mode, and it cannot accept a frequency change 
command while it is in transmit.  You have to use VFO A and B on the main 
band.

I don't know how (if?) Simon has implemented it in HRD, but in SatPC32, 
there is a separate program (SatPC32ISS) that puts the 910 into split mode, 
and it requires that a handshaking line be provided to the serial interface 
to tell the PC when the radio is in TX, so that the program won't try to 
adjust the TX frequency while keyed.
