[amsat-bb] Kenwood TS2000 control versus Icom IC9100

[Erich Eichmann]

Happy New Year to all of you.

James,
try the following settings in menu 'Radio Setup': CAT baud rate 57600, 
CAT delay 30.
Options 'Satellite Mode' and 'RTS +12V' checkedd, all other options 
unchecked.
Menü 'CAT': Interval SSB: 50, FM: 100, Speed 1x.
Beginning with SatPC32 V. 12.8c it is necessary to check option 'RTS 
+12V',  see FAQs, sect. 5q. The TS-2000 requires hardware handshaking. 
Setting the RTS pin high simulates that (5 V of the USB-to-Serial 
converters are sufficient.
The PC can't be too fast for the software because of the fix baudrate.

73s, Erich,  DK1TB
