[amsat-bb] HDSDR SDRplay 817 issue

[kb2m at arrl.net]

 After some OTA time what I'm finding out is that my setup here works only
with FM sats. SO-50, CAS-3H, and NO-84(with the FM d/l). All of the linear
birds do not work. What happens with the linear birds is when you first
initialize them upon AOS the frequencies change correctly at the start of
pass but after that there is no Doppler correction on the 817, or frequency
manipulation with SatPC32's Cat tuning drop down box. With the FM birds all
of this works correctly.
 If someone actually has this setup working with the linear birds I would
like to see your exact configuration. Either I'm missing something not so
obvious, or there is a s/w bug, possibly in HDSDR. 

My setup...

FT-817ND
SDRplay
SatPC32 ver 12.8c
HDSDR 2.70

Yes, I use VSP with HDSDR to full integrate with SatPC32 successfully.

Make sure radio 2 is set to the proper radio type in SatPC32 for the FT-817.
Use radio 1 for the CAT interface to HDSDR. It will appear as a Kenwood
TS-2000.  You will need to activate CAT in HDSDR for it to work.

I have used this setup many times for a full automated SDR station on the
satellites with a FUNcube Dongle Pro + and FT-857D.
