You don't need to fiddle with the radio except \nto tune up and down the passband to see if other people are on the bird.\n\nFirst select the satellite you want to access by clicking on one of the \nletters for the satellites you have configured on your SATPC32 display. The \nselected satellite will be highlighted on the display. Grey letters \nrepresent no configured satellite.\n\nIn the upper left of the SATPC32 display, click on the C. It changes to C+ \nto show CAT tracking in activated. Watch the radio when you do this. It \nshould respond by going into satellite mode and tuning to the frequencies \nshown in SATPC32. Sometimes I have to repeat this once or twice before the \nradio and SATPC32 sync up. Just check the frequency on the radio to verify \nthat it has change to that displayed by the program.\n\nNext click on CAT in the menu bar. This opens the CAT Tuning display \nwindow. Here you can tweek the uplink and downlink frequencies if the \ndownlink is too high or too low. It will need some adjustment depending on \nthe satellite and the radio. With satellites with multiple modes, you can \nchange modes here by just clicking on the appropriate line. Once the \ndownlink sounds reasonable, you are good to go. You may have to tweek \nthings a little on high passes. I've noticed the doppler seems to get off a \nlittle. On the FM birds, you don't have to touch the radio. On the SSB \nbirds, you can tune for other operators. You will also have to tune to \nfollow stations that are not using doppler control. If both stations have \ndoppler control, you shouldn't have to do much of anything once you have \nfound another station and started a QSO.\n\nIf you change satellites, you must close and reopen the CAT box.\n\nJohn Kopala\nN7JK\n------------------------------\n\nWith SatPC32, you won't need to set memories on the rig... in the \nDoppler.sqf file, you need to have an entry for VO-52 that looks like this:\n\nVO-52,145900,435250.3,USB,LSB,REV,0,0\n\nThis tells your radio the relationship between the uplink and downlink \nfrequencies, what modes to use, etc., for that particular satellite. You \ncan either open Doppler.sqf in Notepad (it's in the folder where you \ninstalled SatPC32, usually C:/Program Files/SatPC32), or from the Auxiliary \nFiles section under the \"?\" option on the menu bar. Make sure that you not \nonly have matched the addresses for your radio in the Setup menu, but the \nbaudrate aand COM port as well, and put in a CAT delay value of around 60 or \nso. Then when you select VO-52 as the active satellite and press the \"C\" \nbutton in the upper left of the display, the program should automatically \nswitch the radio to Satellite mode, LSB on the uplink, USB on the downlink, \nand set the frequencies to the values in the Doppler.sqf file. (Don't \nforget to turn the squelch knob, which is the RF Gain control in SSB mode, \nUP) You can then tune up or down from there manually, and the uplink VFO \nwill track your changes to t!\n he downlink.\n\nOnce you can hear yourself on the downlink, follow the instructions in the \nfile FAQ.htm, in the section titled \"AO-40 Operation,\" to fine-tune your \nuplink to match your downlink (every radio is slightly different).\n\nYou should then be good to go!\n\n73,\n\nGeorge, KA3HSW\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\n>From: Ronald Nutter <[email protected]>\n>Sent: Apr 2, 2008 9:31 AM\n>To: Bruce <[email protected]>\n>Cc: [email protected]\n>Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Help with CIV and IC-910H\n>\n>Bruce:\n>\n>Think I found part of the problem.
