Hello All,
I am having difficulty connecting SATPC32 to my Kenwood TS2000. Running Windows 8 and SatPC32 ver 12.9 NOT using a rotor. For what its worth, the cable that I'm using does work with my MCP. (USB to DB9 serial port) A friend of mine loaned me a separate cable which was confirmed working on his PC and his TS2000, no change in scenario.
When I launch the software the "PC" indicator on the upper right corner of the TS2000 is present briefly, then goes out in about 15 seconds. Same result when I attempt to switch satellites in the software.
I have tried running different baud rates but no change. Its currently set at 9600 in the software and the radio.
RTS + 12V box checked DTR + 12V box checked Satellite Mode box checked CAT Delay set at 70 TS2000 is in Sat mode during my tests.
Has anyone ever had similar problems connecting? Am I missing a setting in the radio and/or software?
Any input is greatly appreciated. 73
Kind regards, Mark N3NJ
Make sure the baud rate is correct. 9600 is plenty fast enough. Make sure you have it set to the same on the radio and the computer.
The +12 should only be turned on for TTL / RS232 converters. Turn it off.
