I gave up \non the satellite mode, found for LEO's using the tunning knob for Doppler on \nRx and TX and swaping bands when transmitting to be the most effective for \nthe linear transponders FO-29 and VO-52. FM birds do not require intensive \ntunning. Other than a claraifier with limited range adjusting of Doppler is \nimpossible with the IC 820. In addition I have had several intermintents \nwith my radio all traced to ribbon connectors that need cleaning and \nreseating every year or two. The rig does have a great receiver, just wish \nthe sub receiver was as good. I can't use the main receiver when \ntransmitting, and the S Meter is much better for signal level a than the LCD \nS Meter on the sub receiver. I doubt that Icom engineers knew what a \nsatellite was and certainly they never had to opperate on one using their \nequipment. I have a ID-800 that will not program from my lap top because \nthey do not have drivers for Vista operating system yet and no clue as to \nwhen they will be available. I have to run 80' of cable to my car to a \ndesktop with XP in order to program my radio.\nThe Yasau 736 R was a much better unit for working satellites, but try to \nprogram a Yasau 530 hand held and make the DTMF function work. None of the \ncompanys from Japan know enough about the American culture to consistently \nbuild a intutive obvious product that we can use effectivly and worse yet \nthey consider themselves masters of the English language!\n \" First unplug from out the wall the line cord\" \"this synthesizer IC has 4 \nbit ratch\" These are just two instances that come to mind. My 6'2\" frame \ndoesn't fit well in a Toyota either.\n\nArt,\nKC6UQH\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 12:09 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Satellite mode on IC-821H\n\n\n> Hi, Everyone --\n>\n> Can?anyone who owns and uses an Icom 821H on satellites summarize for me \n> how to put it into Sat mode and operate it in Sat mode??

Do I run the risk of damaging anything in either the laptop or the \n> rig by just trial and error to figure it all out?\n>\n> Thanks very much!\n>\n> Perplexed, and 73,\n> Ray KA8SYX\n> Jacksonville, FL EM90ee\n> ________________________________________________________________________\n> More new features than ever.
