Hi all,
In spite of my usual ineptness with this program, I have managed to have it talking to my FT-847, downloaded the keps for AO73 and appear to be tracking it!!
However, I can't seem to get the radio to hold the up/dn frequencies in the proper VFO's. I start out with the uplink showing in VFOA, but after a min or so the frequencies swap and I have to use the a><b button to get them back.
Am I missing a setting?
Any help appreciated
And Happy Thanksgiving to all
73, Ted

Ted,
Some questions.
Does this problem only happen on AO-73, or all of them? In the Radio Setup, do you have Satellite Mode (Satelliten Modus) checked? Is the SAT mode light on under CAT control? Do you have the FT-847 TRACK mode selected? If so, turn it off as in conflicts with the CAT control.
Are you using a USB dongle for a serial port? What is the CAT port delay?
73s,
Alan WA4SCA

Thanks Alan,
All of those items are as they should be. I did end up pushing the vfo/m button and something changed. The freqs are where they should be and holding. Radio and program are displaying the same numbers
Question on a setting: under Mode, 'uplink+downlink' checked and 'doppler shift' checked...is that ok?
Thanks again
73, Ted

Ted,
Ah, will need to add the VFO/Mem button to my things to check. I changed rigs 2 years ago, and I forget some of the gotchas.
The Mode setting is correct. Doppler Shift is fine, and probably more intuitive for most.
