Bill,
For the ISS, use the SatPC32ISS application instead of the main SatPC32. That will appropriately control your radio for the ISS.

Floyd,
Makes perfect sense. I wonder why, when ISS is selected, SatPC32 does not configure the radio to a single VFO with a non-standard repeater offset, rather than loading 2M into both VFOs in satellite mode. Should I have taken it out of Satellite mode manually?
Something to research.
Bill

The 847 does not allow dual in band operation. If you think about it you would need very respectable filtering more than 100db isolation between the transmitter and receiver to be able to pull this off. In effect you are asking it to be a repeater. It can do this only when transmit and receive frequencies are not on the same band because then it only has to deal with the much smaller 3rd harmonic signal. On 6/30/2014 9:57 PM, Bill (W1PA) wrote:
When I tried to run the ISS passes (2m up and down), the 2nd VFO on the FT-847 came up "reset" in the rig display when SatPC pushed the frequencies over -- is that a rig issue or SatPC issue I need to discuss with Erich?
