I found the problem. I had to factory reset the FT-847 to get it to work. It is apparently a known issue that the FT-847 can get hung up if certain conditions exist. It is working now. I am using SatPC-32.

If you are using HRD's sat program, it will not tune an FT-847

I have used my 847 with cat control without problem. So far today, the 847 will not transmit in sat mode but works fine when not in sat mode. Anyone have any quick suggestion? I am hearing all satelite great but, in satellite mode, The TX indicator comes on but no actual power. I would like to make my 1 contact before Field day is over. Thank,
Doug K9DLP
