[amsat-bb] Icom IC-910H

[Mike Sprenger]

Open the CAT window to ensure you're selecting the right up/down/mode for
your chosen satellite.

To tune the downlink in the passband, Spin the Dial on the radio.

......SatPC will then adjust the uplink frequency appropriately.   If you
aren't hearing yourself come out of the satellite on frequency:

"The uplink calibration can be set in steps of 10, 100 or 1000 Hz with the
corresponding up/down controls in the 'CAT' menu."


I usually use the 100hz adjustments...Once I tweak the uplink, I can then
spin the knob on the radio then SatPC32 will tune the uplink just right.

Here's the whole section out of the manual:
