Hi Bill,

If you're using SatPC32, you can adjust the stored frequency information in your Doppler.SQF file for each bird so the uplink puts you on a spot you can hear on the downlink each time you work a bird. Some have "thermal drift" so you can only get close (meaning, the exact offset may change as the bird temperature(s) change).  Most don't vary much and let you get on the money for future passes.

Key is use the CAT menu, and the top/left settings to adjust your downlink or uplink so you can hear yourself.  I usually keep my uplink fixed and adjust the downlink until I hear myself.  Keep CAT control ON, use your mouse to click on the triangles to move your up/downlinks to match, and then store it... You can either write down what is the offset and manually edit the Doppler.SQF or some of the buttons on that CAT menu allow you save what you have in operation, to the Doppler.SQF file.

Not exactly step by step instructions, but figuring it out is at least half of the fun, right?  :)

You don't need an SDR. Re-read the satellite section of the IC-9100 manual. Page 154.

Making good progress on getting back on sats.  Got the satPC32 working and rig and
rotor working too and can hear QSO on a few sats.  So the bigger problem is now is
how do I find myself.

In earlier times when you had 2 rigs one would change to cw and in a few beeps
would find themselves.  Now I have a IC-9100 and I have not found a way to do that
so now what.....  If I quit the auto I can hear me but go back and try to change
the steps still cant hear me.

Any quick ideas one can share
