Org\" <[email protected]>\n>Message-ID: <000601c86f4f$2cd38ba0$6500a8c0@w4hij>\n>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n>\n>Hi,\n>I'm hoping that someone on the board can help me because I'm having problems trying to get my setup to work. I am now the proud and happy owner of an Icom 820H and an IC706-MKIIG. I have built and tested a CT17 type interface circuit and I have it hooked up and working. The problem I'm having is setting up the dual radio configuration of SatPC32. I've read the help file many times over but I cannot seem to get the radio addresses configured as Erich states. Going by the file I'm assuming the addresses should read $42 $58 in the top address box and $58 $42 in the lower box. Nothing I do will make this happen. If I alter them to that configuration, as soon as I hit the \"address ok\" button the lower box changes and both both boxes read $42 $58. There is some reference to using the \"mode menu\" in the file but I can't figure out where it helps. Another question I have is, should the transceive option be turned off on one or both rigs? I've tried every combination I can think of\n .\n> This is what I'm trying to accomplish if possible, I want be able to use 2 meters on the 820 as the uplink and 10 meters on the 706 as the downlink. Mode A Oscar 7 in other words. I want to be able to use a 2 meters on the 820 as the uplink and use the 706 in concert with my mode S down converter for my downlink. I'd also like to be able to sometimes use the 820 as a stand alone sat rig without the 706 involved at all. That's the only configuration I can get working at all right now. I hope all of the above makes sense because I must just be totally missing something in the help file and I'm getting frustrated as I'm anxious to be back on the birds.\n>Tnx for any help and advice anyone can offer,\n>73,\n>Michael, W4HIJ\n>\n>\n>------------------------------\n>\n>Message: 11\n>Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:25:01 -0500\n>From: \"Robert Bruninga\" <[email protected]>\n>Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Navy to shoot down satellite\n>To: \"'Bruce Robertson'\" <[email protected]>\n>Cc: 'AMSAT-BB' <[email protected]>\n>Message-ID: <[email protected]>\n>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"US-ASCII\"\n>\n>> Some media reports are comparing the US Navy shoot-\n>> down to the one that China conducted recently..\n>\n>Yes, because the media are clueless and don't take the time to\n>investigate anything about details.\n>\n>> Do you have any knowledge or thoughts you can share?\n>\n>Only what was on NASA TV.

I went\n>ahead and paid a very small fee for one of the program and some others were\n>free. I have about 36 channels already programmed into my rig memory for\n>regional UHF and VHF repeaters. Now, I am going to store various\n>operational and semi-operational satellite frequencies into the FT-847 in\n>some type of efficient arrangement or ordering to save precious time\n>changing from one to the other. G4HFQ has various programs that look real\n>interesting after I get my main object done. \n>\n>I have installed a new null modem cable and rearrange Com 1 and Com 2 so\n>that the later can take care of my MixW logging and digital needs.
