Mark, you are right. Kenwood fixed the sub tone issue in satellite mode with Revision 7 (January 2005) (my TS-2000 had the same issue. The firmware update fixed the problem). Congrats to Bob. 73s, Erich, DK1TB

Hi, Congrats on the contact, and welcome to your new addiction ;)
I swear there is/was a firmware update to the TS-2000 that fixed the tone/satellite mode issue. Check the firmware webpage at Kenwood.

Thanks to KC7MG as my first FO-29/satellite QSO in recent years! Also K4FEG and KL1XI for numbers two and three.
Finally got the right down link freq dialed in, duh. Now to get the AZ-EL rotor up. The TS-2000 at 8 watts worked FB, and I guess the little ELK pulled them in.
Now to get the IC-910 on the air so I have tones. When I bought the TS-2000, I didn't know it didn't have tones in the SAT mode. Have to figure a work around for that, maybe use it in non SAT mode.
Thanks, guys, made my day! 73 Bob wa7dxz DM33 _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
