I wrestled with this problem for over a week trying everything I could think of to change and test. I finally saw a post by one of the developers of either the N1MM Contest Logging program or the WSJT-X digital program - can't remember which - saying that if you use their program with the IC-9700 then turn OFF the CI-V Transceive function or you will have data collisions. I turned it off in my IC-9700 and haven't had the problem since (the default is ON). Go to page 8-13 in the manual to see how to get to this setting. I'd be interested in knowing how many people had this problem. ED, K0NW

(Thanks, Daniel!) The radio frequency tracked the software real-time just like it should.
However, after playing around for a few minutes (changing satellites, turning the main tuning knob, etc.) The radio suddenly stopped following the frequency changes from SatPC32. The frequency intermittently updates after 10-20 seconds accompanied by the frequency on the radio display flashing white from MAIN to SUB for a brief moment. Usually nothing happens until I choose another satellite then the frequency updates once then...crickets.
