[amsat-bb] IC-9700 and SATPC32 linear tuning

[Cal Spreitzer]

Hi Dave,

On my 9700 I have SATPC32 V+ (VFO Mode On) selected which allows me to tune
up and down the band with the radio's VFO knob and SATPC32 freq display
follows that and changes accordingly.  I also look for my CW signal on the
waterfall with CW+ (CW MODE ON) and use the up/down Cal to get synced up
then it's a mouse click to CW- to get back to SSB.  I'm a newbie but that's
what I found so far works for me.

Hello folks:

I just upgraded my tired FT-847 for a new IC-9700. FM birds are not a
problem but I'm wondering if someone has a good method of finding your
signal on the linear birds while using SATPC-32 revision 12.8d. The only way
I can vary the TX frequency is under the CAT Tuning menu Upl Calib field. It
seems to work but it's a bit clunky and not very quick. If I try to change
the transmit frequency on the radio it only gives me a few seconds then
reverts back to what is on the main screen of the PC. If I try changing the
receive frequency, the transmit frequency changes as well. Probably new
radio operator error but I would appreciate any suggestions.

 

Thanks//Dave WB9YIG
