- Because I do not have the "proper" Icom CI-V unit, I can only control
one radio at a time with SatPC32 so when AO-51 is in Mode S, I use the 910 for the receive side allowing SatPC 32 to calculate the doppler. For transmitting, say on 2m (When in Mode V/S) I use my Icom 706MKIIG and just leave the transmit frequency alone - works like a charm. When AO-51 is in Mode L/S then SatPC32 can do everything I need through the 910. The 706 is only used when Mode S is on as it ties up the 2m band.
Even tho you don't have a "proper" CI-V interface, you should still be able to control multiple radios. The Icom unit simply has 3 1/8" phone jacks in parallel, with each radio having a unique address on the serial buss. You could probably just plug a dual headphone splitter into your clone and connect up a 2nd radio just fine. My clone from FAR Circuits drives multiple radios okay...
