SatPC32 and IC-9700
by g4bbh＠btinternet.com 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

I have an IC-9700 and set up SatPC32 for the IC-9100 as it is the nearest option and simply changed the CI-V address. It seems to work OK on cross band duplex but I don't seem to be able to find a way to handle the simplex satellites. Sometimes I have been able to get the radio to switch to the downlink frequency it does not apply the doppler correction on transmit. Any Ideas? Dick G4BBH

TQSL and mult grid roves
by K5ZM 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi all. I posted this to the AMSAT FB page before thinking it might have been better to post here. I'll soon be making my first multi grid rove and am looking for insight on how best to set up TQSL. How complex do my rules/qso sets need to be for this? Can I/should I consider using the and/any rule for neighboring grids? Been pondering this for a couple days now and not really making a lot of progress. Tnx es 73 Ian, K5ZM

Paul (Drew?), Any news if it's been submitted to ARRL for LotW? (last check, it wasn't an option - but I've been pretty bad in updating TQSL) --Roy K3RLD > It's only in testing right now and has been activated for just a few passes > over the United States. There should be a regular operating schedule in > place fairly soon from what I understand. 73, Paul, N8HM

PO-101 Working?
by walterh＠k5wh.net 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Does anyone happen to know the operational status of PO-101? I see that it's getting reported as working from several stations in Japan, but it seems to be very silent over the US on multiple passes. Perhaps it's only available during certain locations? Many thanks, Walter/K5WH
