I wonder if anyone can help with this please?  

 

I am using SatPC32 v12.8d on a Windows 10 computer with my Icom IC-9100
connected via USB.  The Doppler tracking works fine, so the basic CI-V link
is obviously ok.

 

My problem is that the radio does not set the desired CTCSS  tone, as
specified in the file SubTone.SQF     A letter 'T' appears on the radio when
I select T1 or T2 in SatPC32. It disappears again when I select T0.
However, the tone is not set correctly.

 

As an example with SO50.  The SubTone.SQF file contains two entries, one for
a 67.0hz tone (T1) and the other for a 74.4Hz tone (T2).  The radio will
respond to T1 and set 67.0Hz but will not change tone when I select T2.

 

With single tone satellites, the tone will not change from what was set
before SatPC32 was started  (i.e. if I had been accessing a terrestrial
repeater earlier)

 

I have not changed the SubTone.SQF parameters since installing SatPC32
v12.8d

 

Many thanks.
