From my in box ... I'll send him all replies. I do not "know" the IC-7000 well enough to respond. -Clint
Clint, Thanks for all your great help in enabling us to work the sats.
I read with great interest the article in the latest AMSAT Journal by Adrian Engele, AA5UK...In it he indicated that he used SatPC to control the doppler receive in his rig which precluded the need for a rig with full duplex capabilities. I had thought I need a full duplex rig to work the birds with linear transponders. I have seveal hundred qso's on the FM birds and want to get on the ssb birds. Also would like to get on the ssb birds for FD as I know the FM birds will be crowded and current predictions indicate only a couple good passes of the fm birds during FD here in Houston.
My question is will SatPC (or any other software) enable me to use my IC7000, which is not a full duplex rig, to work the birds with linear transponders???
Thanks again for all your help.

Clint,
I'll respond tonight when I am home so you can foward to Stan. I actually own an IC7000 as well as a FT857D. I am familiar with both rigs. The SatPC Icom file in the program covers the IC7000 setup, but I'll cover more offline.
73, Adrian AA5UK

An earlier email mentioned the AMSAT Journal....
When was the last Journal published?
The last one I received was Volume 32 Number 4 July/August 2009. The label on that one says I am paid through 2010.07 as does my card. Have there been any journals in the last year?
Thanks and 73, Joe kk0sd
Joe,
The last issue was Vol. 33, No. 2, which is the March/April 2010 issue. Sounds like you are having a problem. Contact Martha in the AMSAT office for help in getting the missing issues.
Editing for the next issue will begin soon. I have been traveling for more than 10 days and have not had the ability to work on it while traveling.
73,
