Shamai,
What you are seeing is a problem that has a vareity of solutions. There is not one program that does everything you need to do! So, you may have to run more than one program at a time.
I run SatPC32 to control my rotators and radio VFOs AND I also run WISP to run the PBBS software and to schedule other programs to run for specific satellites. So, I run both programs all the time.
For GO-32 KISS reception, try using Mike DK3WN's excellent software ONLINE KISS+ to capture a KISS File and then decode it with his TECHSAT-1B (GO-32) Telemetry Beacon Decoder.
You can download both here: http://www.dk3wn.info/software.shtml
There are other solutions to our problem (using Wisp and WispDDE for frequency control). But I much prefer SatPC32 for radio/rotors and WISP for TNCS and scheduling programs.
For example, with GO-32 you can have Wisp run the ONLINE KISS+ software instead of the PBBS MSPE program. It is just a configuration matter.
I hope that helps!

Hi all
I am trying to download telemetry from GO-32 in KISS mode, and later on, I would also like to operate the AO51 BBS.
I tried two ways. In both there is something missing... I hope someone will be able to give me some advise...:
Way #1. With SatPC32. SatPC32 provides good tracking capabilities. I get automatic receiving frequency control via CAT, including Doppler compensation, and I get automatic antenas control via the LVBTracker. However, I am missing a software to capture the KISS information in a file, and will also need to work with the PACSAT protocol for the BBS.
Way #2. With WISP. I succeeded to get the antennas rotor control working by WISP, but so far I could not learn how to control the transceiver frequencies, and also to automaitcally switch from receive to transmit for sending packets and requests to the satellite.
I have an ICOM IC910H and a Kantronic 9612Plus TNC.
My PC is a laptop with only USB ports..., no RS232. I am using USB to RS232 converters, but I don't think i can access hardware pins of the DB25 after the converters, for the T/R control.
Thanks & 73,
