If I use the rit then sometimes I loose the other party on there or\nthey can not tune up to me very well. One thing that I have noticed\nthinking about this if I turn the rit on and use that then turn the RIT off\nand then try to tune the xmit freq I see that the XIT is also changed to\nthe same amount as the RIT control.\nSo having found this and trying to work with SatPC32 trying to tune using\nthe cat control section I am not having very good luck somedays getting\nthings tuned up. I don't try to do these at the same time, I work with one\nor the other, just have not found a good happy medium yet for tuning in the\ndifferent ones.\nNow I am thinking that I might want to reset all back to square one with\nthe radio again and see what happens with the RIT and XIT if they track\ntogether or not if I do a full reset of the radio.\nThe rig is the TS2000X, it took sometime getting it to work with Satpc32\nand now I know where I made the mistake on the basic setup so that I can\nget things to a working point with the software for tracking again. Just\nseeing that the RIT control and the XIT track together even thou they are\nnot on together that I know of when I try to work things.\nThis I only found this week. So any thoughts on this?\n\nThank you.\n\nJim\n\nOn Wed, Feb 6, 2019 at 11:36 PM Mike Sprenger <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Great job\n>\n> Im going to contradict myself.
