Dear friends,
Thank you very much for the answers, help me a lot and now I have better
idea how operators does.
Now I come back to other situation when I do doppler control automatic by
Hamradiodeluxe:

Let make an example at VO-52 using middle of transponder.
While the software is doing correction in the two VFO´s when I start to TX
my signal are always above or below the frequency suggested by computer, and
I need to put OFF uplink adjust at HRD and do by manual to go higher or
lower in Uplink to listen my self. Okay I know the UHF doppler is higher
than VHF, but I presume that HRD always adjust the better adjustment for UP
and DOWN.

At FM satellites this not happen

This make me confused becuase if I have new kepler downloaded, why my audio
always comes above or below the downlink who Hamradiodeluxe adjust on my
FT-847.
