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

[Bill Acito]

I run SATPC32 on a Win10 tablet portable with my ICOM 820H.
Make sure your clock and keps are current (sync immediately before the  pass)
On FO-29, you shouldn't have to move the TX offset more than +/- 1Khz to find yourself.
On my current tablet, it was +800Hz, on a previous laptop, -600. You're adjusting for PC clock tolerance,
temperature, location accuracy, and VFO accuracy.
Once you do, you can set that as a permanent offset so you don't have to do that again:

AO-7 is much tougher, as some of the published doppler.sqf files are 3 to 4Khz off from reality
(your mileage may vary)

The XW's seem to be spot on, with little or no adjustment.
