Hello Gabriel, it is not the software that requires modifications of the TS-790E/A. You can steer the radio with SatPC32 for Doppler correction without any modification. The problem is that the RX is mute for about 100 mSec when a CAT command is sent to the radio. That is a peculiarity of the radio and regardless of the software. With FM voice repeaters that will be no problem. With SSB satellites however it can be one. To tune the radio via mouse or keyboard requires a sequence of CAT commands, to tune it via the VFO knob requires to poll the RX VFO in short periods. So the RX will be mute for some time. Perhaps you test that yourself.
The solution I mentioned in the instruction file for that radio comes from Kenwood.

I'm sure this question must have been posted before, but I 'm new to AMSAT-BB so I would appreciate your answers.
Is there some software for the Kenwood TS-790 that is capable or compensating the doppler?
I am aware of the PcSAT32, but it requires modifiying the rig, what is something I really would like to avoid.
Anyone advice will be welcome. Many thanks!
