Make sure CO-56 is not selected to your group. I had the same trouble until removing it. It's no longer in orbit, so the Keps must be omitted from the file.
Good luck, Elan - WB2IOL

I get the same problem myself, but ONLY on the 12.8 version of SatPC32.
I have the exact same setup on 12.7, and it works just fine.
Even copied the same amateur.txt and Doppler.sqf files from one to the other just to ensure I didn't have a typo somewhere.

I just noticed that my FT-847 is having a problem with PL tones. There are a few things happening... It seems to want to stay only in a PL of 67.0. When I try to operate on SO-67 that has a PL of 233.6, I can't get into the bird, unless I tailgate. As it seems to default to a PL of 67.0 I can work SO-50 no problem. I checked all my cables, and also went to a different software control program and it all points to a problem with my 847. After some testing with different PL's, using another radio with TQSL set, it seems that when in Satellite mode my 847 will only transmit a PL of 67. I've had my 847 I bought new since 1997 and I never had a problem with This. When I look back I can't remember when I needed any other PL other then 67.0, except 74.4 to open up SO-50, last time about 3 years ago. Before I try a full reset I thought I would ask here, to make sure I'm not missing anything stupid...

How do you operate the PL Tone?
Manual or via Tracking Software? If it is software, let is know what software you are using, maybe we can help.
I have a FT-847 also and with both SatPC32 and HRD no problems, HRD doesn't want to operate via the Satellite Tracking software, so have to do this via Ham Radio de Luxe main screen.

Hi
Press the MENU button, rotate the SUB-TUNE knob to select Menu #12, That is "TONE-FRQ". Then rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to set the right PL. Then press the MENU again to exit.
To activate PL just select FM-mode and press the grey TONE knob (3). There is a sign ENC visible. You can check that the PL is correct by pressing the MENU again. IF not, just rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob.
If that doesn't work out, maybe the memory backup battery has run out of juice. Check also the position of the battery backup switch.

Hello Jeff, SatPC32 sets the FT-847 sub tone frequency for SO-67 (233.6 Hz) correctly. I suppose you have the following data line added to SubTone.SQF: SO-67,233.6,$01,36 The Parameter $01 is the code of the FT-847 for a 233.6 tone. .
To check the tone frequency do the following: Select SO-67. CAT steering must be on (C+) Click the control T0 to T1. Above the VHF uplink freqence an "ENC" appears. Disable CAT (C-). At the radio switch the bands. The VHF frequency must be on the left side. Now press the "Menu" button at the FT-847 and select menu #12. In the display you will see the tone frequency 233.6.

I fixed the problem with a full reset. In fact this one of the few times that a full reset actually fixed my problem with a radio! I'm sorry I wasn't as clear as I should have been in describing my problem. I did say that I could set a PL other than 67.0 when I didn't have the 847 in satellite mode. When I took it out of sat mode I could achieve a PL of other then 67.0. I also mentioned that it used to work, for at least 10 years. Weird problem, that thankfully was easy to fix...
and it all points to a problem with my 847. After some testing with different PL's, using another radio with TQSL set, it seems that when in Satellite mode my 847 will only transmit a PL of 67. I've had my 847 I bought new since 1997 and I never had a problem with This.

Jeff,
Do you have a PL tone stored in the current satellite channel? Some time back, 2-3 years, I found that there seemed to be a conflict in programming the PL frequency if one was stored in memory. I switched to another satellite channel without a PL tone stored, and the problem went away. I just let SATPC32 take care of it. Easy enough to check, unless all your satellite channels have tones stored.
Good luck,
Alan WA4SCA

I kinda remembered having that problem myself Alan. I tried different sat memory's one with PL and one without, but I still could only get a PL of 67. I did a full reset, and that fixed the problem. I also forgot that I had a copy of FTBasicMMO, so I stored all memories, before I did the reset, then restored. All is back to normal. So I don't know what happened as I'm using the same memories. I just tested it with a sat memory in background that contained a pl of 67, then with a non PL memory in background. Both ways let me run SatPC32 with SO-67 with a pl of 233.6. I think you and me are the only one's who have experienced this problem! Thanks for the sanity check....

Do you try manually without any cable connected from a tracking interface to program another tone pressing menu button selecting menu item 12, then selecting any other tone and exiting pressing the menu button again. This operation should put the FT-847 in any selected tone and you just have to press the tone button (3) to enable it.
If it's not working you already have the solution that i used about 3 times since i got my 847 9 years now.
