For over 10 years I have used cables from RT Systems on multiple TS2000's (now 2 in the shack) and on a 9100 I just sold (a real PIA) and the RT Systems cable and drivers are FLAWLESS

Hi Jim, I’ve been fortunate that both of those rigs have worked wonderfully in my shack with SatPC32. Wonder where the issue is? I know it doesn’t help much,, but maybe it is unique to your particular setup. Neither radio took any fussing for me. Any chance you can try the rig at another nearby ham’s shack?

I would like to find out which unit has a better tracking for doppler and general connectivity over all. I have been fighting with this TS 2000 keeping my connection with the pc going. I am about ready to deep six this thing. I have gone to a true IO card for the serial connection, Not a USB converter, changed the speeds to match in the settings in both radio and pc. tried different ports and things like that and at times it will track fair and then other times it does not do anything. I have restarted the pc and the radios, shut them both off and then restarted and still, I am having issues. I would like to have a rig that is going to work with Satpc32 in a reasonable fashion. Just keeping this thing working is taking the fun out of trying to get on with the birds and ready to change if it is going to work better. However, I am looking at general input from those that have used these rigs and if they have had good luck with them or if I am asking for something out in left field.
Thank you.
