[amsat-bb] Re: IC910 and AO-51 VS

Hi Gene,

Assign the IC-910 as a receiver using the
rx command (instead of as a xcvr) in the
satellite configuration record in the
itune.cfg file.

Something like this:

satellite AO-51 V/S     ; mode V/S
downlink  2401.200 fm
uplink     145.920 fm
rxconverter 2256        ; for 145 MHz (tweek as needed)
rx ic910 1 60           ; on com 1, hex address 60
tx Radio2 etc           ; fill in whatever the other radio is


This will use only the IC-910 receiver on just
2 meters. The other radio will be used only
on 145 MHz as a transmitter. You can share the
same com port if they are both ICOM radios.

Operation with separate RX and TX is in the
documentation on page 13 "Configuring Radios".
(itune110.doc)
