[amsat-bb] Kenwood TS2000 control versus Icom IC9100

[Mark L. Hammond]

Hi Jim, I’ve been fortunate that both of those rigs have worked wonderfully
in my shack with SatPC32.  Wonder where the issue is?  I know it doesn’t
help much,, but maybe it is unique to your particular setup.  Neither radio
took any fussing for me.  Any chance you can try the rig at another nearby
ham’s shack?
