[amsat-bb] SatPC32 Rig Tracking Question

[Mark L. Hammond]

Hi Brian,

What is your setting under "CAT" menu and CAT tuning for "Interval"?   I use something like 20 for SSB/CW and 50-200 for FM/PKT.  That sets how much freq. change must occur before a new value is sent to the rig.

You could try using "Speed x5" but usually I don't find that necessary.  Just have the VFOs updated more often.  Might fix what you're seeing.

You can actually set the Interval values as low as 0 :)  It updates constantly....
