[amsat-bb] SatPC32 with IC7000 flipping back and forth

Michael,
the automatic Doppler correction of SatPC32 updates the radio 
frequencies (both, uplink and downlink by default)  when the Doppler 
shift of the higher band changed by a certain amount of Hertz (interval, 
selectable in menu CAT). To do so the program needs to swap the VFOs for 
a few milliseconds because only the frequency of the main band VFO can 
be changed via CAT command. BTW: This happens only while the radio is in 
RX mode. During tX mode the frequency corrections are delayed.
73s, Erich, DK1TB

If I select lets say AO-73, It puts the radio in Split mode and enters 145.96 in the RX side and 435.14 in the TX side. That is perfect, however about ever 4 seconds it flips the frequencies putting 435.14 in the RX side and 145.96 in the TX side. It only stays there for about a nano second and flips back. It keeps doing this continuously. I have tried all the CAT delays, and intervals with no success.
