Old Version of Satpc32
by radiomb 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I have an old version of SatPC32 pre windows 10. I think I bought it about 4 years ago. Can I upgrade or do I need to buy a new Version? I down loaded the current demo program and I though I might be able to use it. I have the serial number (not sure if that is password) GI10******* on the disk cover.Tnx 73 Mike K4MIA

Icom UX-9100 output
by kb2mjeff＠att.net 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

I recently installed a UX-9100 1.2 gig module in my IC-9100. I was looking for the advertised 1 to 10 watt output, but am only seeing 2 watts out max. What are other IC-9100 users seeing for watts out? 73 Jeff kb2m --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
