Re: [amsat-bb] SatPC32 Rig Tracking Question
Hi Brian,
What is your setting under "CAT" menu and CAT tuning for "Interval"? I use something like 20 for SSB/CW and 50-200 for FM/PKT. That sets how much freq. change must occur before a new value is sent to the rig.
You could try using "Speed x5" but usually I don't find that necessary. Just have the VFOs updated more often. Might fix what you're seeing.
You can actually set the Interval values as low as 0 :) It updates constantly....

I have SatPC32 working with the Yaesu G-5500 and FT-847, and just about everything seems to be working. (great)
Working the FM satellites are pretty easy, however, I am having a tough time with the SSB satellites.
My issue is with the frequency tracking on the FT-847. The frequencies change (on the 847), however, the changing of the frequencies doesn't seem to keep up the satellite. I get the satellite dialed it and sounding good and within a few seconds the signal is way off frequency and I cannot understand the station.
So far I have been having better luck tuning the radio manually, though I would like to use the computer CAT tuning.
Has anyone did a YouTube video on how to set up SatPC32 and how to correct this issue?
Thank you
