A question came up in a local ham breakfast group.
AO-7 and some upcoming launches have modes which include HF frequencies. SatPC32 supports a range of Icom rigs, and is the IC-7300 CAT set close enough to work with one of them? I know, and explained, that Doppler isn't an issue on HF, but it is an interesting question.
Has anybody tried this? No guesses, please. :)

Alan,
Tomorrow I am retrieving my IC7300 from our contest site. I have a CT-17 hooked up to my IC-910H. I will plug the IC-7300 in as Radio 2 and see what happens using the settings for the IC-9100.

Icom have retained backward compatibility in their basic command set (which is one of the reasons why their commands are hideous hex strings rather than more human readable commands).
So as long as you have the hex address correctly and have the rig selection as "others" it should work.
The specific radio selection will introduce non generic commands for satellite mode and updating sub/main bands et cetera

Less bloat, more "go". The Internet has regressed, in this regard.
I wrote a Perl module to control my IC-746Pro via CI-V in less than a few hours. Simple.

Yes, works fine! Running my IC-R8600 as 1st radio (RX) and the IC-7300 on 28MHz as 2nd radio as TX radio in SatPC32. Getting ready for 2m/70cm transverter use :-)
Email me offline for specific configuration and settings in SatPc32.

John and Stefan,
Thanks for the quick confirmation. Will pass it along, and file it away for future use.
