Well, I have found a couple of things that I didn't know were there for setting. Still learning how to set things up in satpc32 at this point. Had to do with the comm port setting. Took a while to figure it out, however lets see what happens now.
This has been a new thing for me to work with and just the way that some was done I have had to figure it with some guidance. Erich gave me enough to dig deeper to find out what was going on, so know lets see how it works after a couple of hours and then days. So far it seems to be working to some extent.

Im with the others. I run SATPC on a TS2K and TS2Kx on different PCs at separate locations.. Using FTDI chipped serial adaptors and set up more or less as described by Erich, it has been flawless from day one using slow and fast PCs, XP and W7 pro.
Let us know your progress. Almost always there is an "ah ha" moment.

Happy New Year to all of you.
James, try the following settings in menu 'Radio Setup': CAT baud rate 57600, CAT delay 30. Options 'Satellite Mode' and 'RTS +12V' checkedd, all other options unchecked. MenĂ¼ 'CAT': Interval SSB: 50, FM: 100, Speed 1x. Beginning with SatPC32 V. 12.8c it is necessary to check option 'RTS +12V', see FAQs, sect. 5q. The TS-2000 requires hardware handshaking. Setting the RTS pin high simulates that (5 V of the USB-to-Serial converters are sufficient. The PC can't be too fast for the software because of the fix baudrate.

I would like to find out which unit has a better tracking for doppler and general connectivity over all. I have been fighting with this TS 2000 keeping my connection with the pc going. I am about ready to deep six this thing. I have gone to a true IO card for the serial connection, Not a USB converter, changed the speeds to match in the settings in both radio and pc. tried different ports and things like that and at times it will track fair and then other times it does not do anything. I have restarted the pc and the radios, shut them both off and then restarted and still, I am having issues. I would like to have a rig that is going to work with Satpc32 in a reasonable fashion. Just keeping this thing working is taking the fun out of trying to get on with the birds and ready to change if it is going to work better. However, I am looking at general input from those that have used these rigs and if they have had good luck with them or if I am asking for something out in left field.
Thank you.
