Good morning...
Anybody here using Orbitron and the WISPDDE program to control their radio? I am curious as to whether the FT-817 would work in this way. I already use Orbitron, so the charm in it is that I wouldn't need to use an older package such as Instant Tune/Track to achieve half-duplex.
Thanks!

SatPC32 does it beautifully, without any other add-on programs. I recently worked from Alaska to Michigan on AO-7 Mode B (excuse me, Mode UV) with nothing more than my 817, laptop and cat cable, and Arrow antenna.
