My first thought is that your CAT delay is not correct for the baud rate you are using to communicate with the radio... What baud rate are you using, and what is your CAT delay set at?
Check the Radio Hints for Icom users under the "?" menu for more info.

Hello I am running an IC-821 with Satpc32 software Occasionally when I am using 2 meters as the uplink the radio will jump down exactly 400k cycles on the transmit The software shows the correct freq, but the radio is off by minus 400K
To prevent this I usually have to turn the CAT off and use the radio manually to track the freq.
It certainly is not the end of the world to do this, but I sure would appreciate any advice that would allow me to keep the CAT connected.
Thanks from cold and snowy MN
