Ron,
Yes you can. Look in the ? > Hints[Radio] > Yaesu Users menu in SatPC. There is a whole writeup on how to do this with one radio.
The stock Doppler.sqf file needs to be updated for the newer satellites. FO-29 setting is off by -2000hz for example, other satellites are pretty close. Ideally you should work with someone who has a good station to help you adjust the settings and then store them and be spot on in the future.
It is best to test on low passes as the Doppler will shift slower compared to a high elevation pass, where the VFO toggling is very pronounced. Make sure you release the PTT often and keep transmissions short so the PC can update the VFO frequencies.
Good luck!

Question I have is, is it possible to use SatPC32 to control 1 FT-817 either in split frequency or in each VFO (ie switching between VFO A & B) with the Doppler shift corrections? At this time my FT-817 is my only 2m/70cm rig that supports SSB and I would like to be able to operate on the linear birds especial ARISSat-1 when its launched. I'm fully aware I would not be able to hear myself in the preferred full duplex operation, but something is better then nothing until I can acquire another SSB rig either in 2m or 70cm.

Hi Clint and James,
I've got a full write-up on my 2 x FT-817ND system with SatPC32 on my page at:
http://kb5wia.blogspot.com/2010/10/satellite-portable-station.html
It includes details configuation, screenshot, cables, setup, etc. Same config will apply to an 817+857 install.

JAMES: Wondering if you have instructions to make ft817 and ft857
connect to sat32pc and how that works. I have the 857 working as primary. Thanks, Jim KI6WJ
Many thanks - I just am not that familiar with SatPC32 ...
