[amsat-bb] IC-9700 ?

[Stefan Wagener]

Hi James,

Glad you got SatPC32 working. By using the separate CAT cable you still
will be able to use computer control of frequencies etc, even with other
programs if they use CI-V commands. Just specify the CAT com port and speed
and radio address (if needed). Now, the scope function will occupy your usb
port and if you try to use other software at the same time with the IC-9700
you will create conflicts. You might try virtual serial port (VSP) software
to split that port. Not sure if that will work.

However, help me understand why you would want to run SatPC32 together with
WSJT? Are you planning to use weak signal digital communication over
satellites?

If you are just interested in the "scope" function for the IC-9700 got to:
https://icom.va2fsq.com/win4icomsuite-overview/ and try the software. It
will work with WSJT and gives you a scope.

73, Stefan VE4SW
