[amsat-bb] Re: SatPC 32 CAT / track doppler in my ICOM 910H

[George Henry]

First, are you using a "real" serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter?  Second, have you confirmed that the software and the radio are both set to the same baud rate and device address?  And finally, what CAT delay setting are you using in SatPC32?

Mine works perfectly with either type of interface at 9600 baud, default address of $60, and a CAT delay of 70.
