Kenwood TS2000 control versus Icom IC9100
I would like to find out which unit has a better tracking for doppler and general connectivity over all. I have been fighting with this TS 2000 keeping my connection with the pc going. I am about ready to deep six this thing. I have gone to a true IO card for the serial connection, Not a USB converter, changed the speeds to match in the settings in both radio and pc. tried different ports and things like that and at times it will track fair and then other times it does not do anything. I have restarted the pc and the radios, shut them both off and then restarted and still, I am having issues. I would like to have a rig that is going to work with Satpc32 in a reasonable fashion. Just keeping this thing working is taking the fun out of trying to get on with the birds and ready to change if it is going to work better. However, I am looking at general input from those that have used these rigs and if they have had good luck with them or if I am asking for something out in left field.
Thank you.
Jim
Hi Jim, I’ve been fortunate that both of those rigs have worked wonderfully in my shack with SatPC32. Wonder where the issue is? I know it doesn’t help much,, but maybe it is unique to your particular setup. Neither radio took any fussing for me. Any chance you can try the rig at another nearby ham’s shack?

For over 10 years I have used cables from RT Systems on multiple TS2000's (now 2 in the shack) and on a 9100 I just sold (a real PIA) and the RT Systems cable and drivers are FLAWLESS

The only thing that I can do is try a different computer to see if that might work, however, I don't think it is that. There is something to do with the linking between the 2 units. The only other thing is maybe the computer is much to fast for the software. It is also a 64 bit machine running at 4 gig. Ram is not an issue either, that is at 16. It is a I7 running at 4.0 gig no over clock or anything like that either. Maybe I will get into the bios to see if there is something there that might help.

I don't think the computer being "too fast" is likely an issue. That may have been a thing decades ago but it isn't anymore.
Can you get access to another TS-2000 to see if the issue is the radio?

Jim, I bought my Kenwood TS-2000X in 2009. I use a Serial to USB converter and it has worked flawlessly with SatPC32 ever since day one. Rick WB3CSY

Happy New Year to all of you.
James, try the following settings in menu 'Radio Setup': CAT baud rate 57600, CAT delay 30. Options 'Satellite Mode' and 'RTS +12V' checkedd, all other options unchecked. Menü 'CAT': Interval SSB: 50, FM: 100, Speed 1x. Beginning with SatPC32 V. 12.8c it is necessary to check option 'RTS +12V', see FAQs, sect. 5q. The TS-2000 requires hardware handshaking. Setting the RTS pin high simulates that (5 V of the USB-to-Serial converters are sufficient. The PC can't be too fast for the software because of the fix baudrate.

Im with the others. I run SATPC on a TS2K and TS2Kx on different PCs at separate locations.. Using FTDI chipped serial adaptors and set up more or less as described by Erich, it has been flawless from day one using slow and fast PCs, XP and W7 pro.

The entire chain between the PC and the radio works quite well up to 9600 baud, in my experience. There are several factors affecting it at higher speeds.
But if the issue is mainly about "doppler tracking", there may be another factor to be considered - some radios can't change frequency while transmitting AND for some radios SatPC32 stops providing doppler corrections while transmitting. Either case can be a bit bewildering, esp., with SSB sats. If this is what you are experiencing, it would feel like tracking a high speed runner through a 100x zoom lens.
I guess to escape these issues and for other benefits, I see some have switched to sophisticated SDR setups and are enjoying it. It is very impressive to hear their perfect doppler corrected rag-chew throughout the entire pass, using SatPC32 on my RX.
So, if your receive doppler works well but transmit doppler does not, then you'd know where to look.

Well, I have found a couple of things that I didn't know were there for setting. Still learning how to set things up in satpc32 at this point. Had to do with the comm port setting. Took a while to figure it out, however lets see what happens now.
This has been a new thing for me to work with and just the way that some was done I have had to figure it with some guidance. Erich gave me enough to dig deeper to find out what was going on, so know lets see how it works after a couple of hours and then days. So far it seems to be working to some extent.

Jim N1IPA,
FWIW, will be happy to share my DOPPLER.SQF if you need to compare it with yours. There may even be a generic one with latest updates available on-line somewhere.
BTW, if you don't know this already, the "Observer's" location has to be entered in a couple of places during initial configuration, of the SatPC32 suite.
Speaking of "not working", something strange happened a few days ago - Win 8.1 stopped sync-ing its internal clock to internet time, so when SatPC32 predicted the passes, I could not hear any of my fav sats. Fortunately, I noticed the problem, restarted the PC, updated Keplers and everything was back to normal.
