Is there a way to modify the command strings sent to the radio by CAT in SatPC32?
I'm struggling to get my IC-9100 working for digital packet satellites. Every time SatPC32 or SatPC32ISS update the 9100's frequencies for Doppler shift, they drop the rig out of the DATA mode. I need to find a way to put the DATA mode command into the string of commands sent with the update.
The Readme(Icom).txt help file mentions the files IcomName.SQF and IcomPar.SQF, but I do not find these anywhere among the SatPC32 files.-- Mark D.

Those files are located in the Application Data/SatPC32 subdirectory.

Mark,
From the "What's new" section on the Satpc32 website.
Starting with Vers. 12.8c
1. The CAT commands for the IC-9100 have been expanded. The program can now activate the digital mode of the radio. The mode entry in Doppler.SQF for this function is FMD.

Ah! Thank you, Dave. Just what I needed. And I should have known that, but I think my brain is getting fried from struggling with this all weekend. Thanks again. -- Mark D.

Not sure Mark,
but what digital satellites are you referring to? For the APRS or PSK31 you don't need or want the IC-9100 digital mode. You use the usb port for the programs and set menu 56 data off mode to usb.
