[amsat-bb] Kenwood TS2000 control versus Icom IC9100

[James McIrvin]

I would like to find out which unit has a better tracking for doppler and
general connectivity over all.
I have been fighting with this TS 2000 keeping my connection with the pc
going.
I am about ready to deep six this thing.
I have gone to a true IO card for the serial connection,  Not a USB
converter, changed the speeds to match in the settings in both radio and
pc.  tried different ports and things like that and at times it will track
fair and then other times it does not do anything.
I have restarted the pc and the radios, shut them both off and then
restarted and still, I am having issues.
I would like to have a rig that is going to work with Satpc32 in a
reasonable fashion.
Just keeping this thing working is taking the fun out of trying to get on
with the birds and ready to change if it is going to work better.
However, I am looking at general input from those that have used these rigs
and if they have had good luck with them or if I am asking for something
out in left field.

Thank you.

Jim
