Hi All, After a number of years of being inactive satellite (artificial) wise, I am having fun trying them out again. I have a TS-2000X, one of the earlier models, and I have just installed Version 5 of Ham Radio Deluxe in the shack computer, (great software), to control the radio The problem I have is; while transmitting on 70cm and the frequency is changing to compensate for Doppler change, the radio often stops and the display shows dashes in the places where the frequencies were shown. The power to the radio is recycled to get it working again. If my memory serves me correctly there was a fix mentioned for this problem a few years ago. Any help would be much appreciated. 73 Starr ZL3CU AMSAT ZL member

Hello Starr,
Perhaps you can first try an update to the radio firmware. There was an early fix specifically for issues when the PC updates the frequencies while transmitting.

You only need to update the most current version, and it fixes all previous issues. There is a PL tone fix, too, which is important for satellite work.
I hope that fixes your problem! Please let us know.
