[amsat-bb] SatPC32 Rig Tracking Question

I have SatPC32 working with the Yaesu G-5500 and FT-847, and just about
everything seems to be working. (great)

Working the FM satellites are pretty easy, however, I am having a tough
time with the SSB satellites.

My issue is with the frequency tracking on the FT-847.  The frequencies
change (on the 847), however, the changing of the frequencies doesn't seem
to keep up the satellite.   I get the satellite dialed it and sounding good
and within a few seconds the signal is way off frequency and I cannot
understand the station.

So far I have been having better luck tuning the radio manually, though I
would like to use the computer CAT tuning.

Has anyone did a YouTube video on how to set up SatPC32 and how to correct
this issue?


Thank you
