Hello Nate,

While I can't comment on the specific TNC hookup---please remember to carefully check the MENU settings on the TS-2000. Pay special attention to settings about baud (9600), etc.

For example:

50E MAIN 50F 9600

There may be others, but look over the menus carefully. There are LOTS of things you can set in the radio--it's very handy!

73,

Mark N8MH

I should add that I'm using the following pin number connection:

KPC: As you look at the connector on the rear panel, it goes 5 4 3 2 1  9 8 7 6

TS-2000: As you look at the connector on the rear panel, it goes: 13 9 10 11 12 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the help with our 4800 bps issue. We haven't found a solution yet, but we're working on it, and I'll let you know when we have something figured out.

Just now, I found a Kantronics KPC-9612+ lying around the lab, and would like to fire it up with our TS-2000 to see if it's still in working order. Can someone check to see if I've figured out the pinout correctly? I'll put the KPC pins on the left, and the TS-2000 pins on the right.

1 (Audio out) - 11 (Mic in) 2 (Carrier detect) - 5,7 (Main/sub squelch) 3 (PTT) - 9 (PTT) 4 (CTRLB) - Not connected 5 (RXA) - 1,3 (Main/sub out) 6 (GND) - Any of 4,8,12 (GND) 7 (Ext-In) - Not connected 8 (CTRLA) - Not connected 9 (GND) - Any of 4,8,12 (GND)

TS-2000 pins not connected: 2,6,10,13

Thanks, Nate KC2SVI

I have a Windows 7 Inspiron desktop. I just installed the SatPC32 for GS-232. When I start SatPC32, it does not automatically also start SDX as on my other computer. I can start SDX manually and can use the "manual input" thing on SDX to speak with the GS232, reading current position etc. But when I click up R+ SatPC32 has no contol over SDX and the rotors do not move when I tell them to--like selecting "park." What to do? Other features in SatPC32 seem to be working.

Erich,

I run 12.8a. Your first suggested fix fixed it! Thanks. Now another question.

Whenever I start SatPC32, I get a modal message box containing "OLE-Fehler 8004503A, ClassID: {A5584957-EF07-419C-BACD-9931F1256D92} ." What is this about? It happens twice upon starting SatPC32, plus at other times including when I either OK or Cancel out of the Satellites menu.

I'm now waiting for a good pass to check out the whole system.

Hello Larry, I suppose you run V. 12.8 or 12.8a.

From the list in menu "Rotor Setup" choose the item "Yaesu GS-232". Save the

change with the upper "Save" button and restart SatPC32.

The program stores path and filename of ServerSDX.Exe in the aux. file "RotorServer.SQF" in the SatPC32 data folder. The path of the data folder is shown in a foot line of menu "Satellites". RotorServer.SQF can be opened with Notepad.

It should now contain the following line:

C:\Program Files\SatPC32\SDX\ServerSDX

Does the program now start ServerSDX?

If not, try whether it works better when you start SatPC32 with the option "Run as Administrator" (Right click on the file name and choose that option).
