Check to make sure that the preamp on the TS-2000 is on.

Im getting back in to satellite after about 6 years being off. My ts-2000 used to work great but when i have tried it this time, every satellite is very weak and almost cants hear anything. To troubleshoot if it was my antenna system, i placed a new FT-991A on the antennas. I hear the satellites pretty well. im using satpc32. but the ft991a is a halfduplex radio and i can not hear my own signal. This means i cant calibrate it to the correct frequencies. I know people are using the ft991a. Does anyone have a way to calibrate the uplink or downlink using the satpc32?
antennas are 14 element 2 meter and a 11 element 70 cm antenna on az/el rotor and about 100 ft of the new messi low loss superflex cable.
