Good afternoon James, glad to hear from you! I tried that setup years ago using two CAT to Bluetooth adapters. Both radios were following the doppler shift and once I calibrated the uplink all was good.
The only annoyance was the "click-click" sound coming through the headset every time the frequency changed on the RX FT-817.
Maybe using two CT-62 CAT cables will do a better job, but have not tried it yet. I'll try setting something up again and will let you know how it goes.
Hope to catch you on your next trip.

I'm looking for assistance with getting my FT-857 and FT-817 to play nicely with SatPC32; my battle has been a losing one so far. I won't go into detail here, but I'd really appreciate hearing off list from anyone who's got first-hand experience with this pair who will help with checking the settings to see the (probably) simple fix.
I'm back on my merchant marine hip and will be leaving Florida shortly for another ocean crossing back to Guam. We'll be going through the Panama Canal, and my IARP has already been issued. With luck, I'll put out a bunch of wet grids along the way during the month-long trip.
Tks/73,
Jim, ND9M
