HI
I cannot seem to get the ISS portion of the program to operate properly with FT-847
1. Regular SatPC32 program works as it should
2. In ISS, I have CAT control (trigger on/off with C
3. SAT on the radio is turned off
4. In CAT, I can select the pair for the repeater and the downlink freg will appear on the radio (VFO A) The initial freq in the program appears but does not update further
5. Manual says "With the Yaesu FT-847 only use the 'TX' / 'RX' controls of SatPC32ISSto switch
the radio to TX or RX, rsp. Otherwise the VFO can't be tuned to the TX frequency
before the radio is switched to TX."
Program is not displaying TX/RX buttons or controls nor am I able to key tx with + or - keys on 10 key pad
6. FYI, there are no files shown in any o the aux files. (but, I suspect that info is pulled from the main program)
I must have something set wrong. Any help appreciated
73,
Ted

Hi Ted,
I do not have an FT-847 handy to test, but here is some information.
The TX/RX buttons have been moved. At the very bottom line, Obs, Config, etc, hover your mouse. You will get a message to "Double click to activate/deactivate RX/TX buttons." They will appear in the corners of the program.
I have a full complement of help files, including one for SatPC32ISS in the "?" section.
Are you using Configuration 1? SatPC32ISS picks up most of its information from SatPC32, and in the past I found it did not get the correct radio information if I was using Configuration 2.
Finally, check the frequency update interval, main program. If you have the FM update set to 100 Hz, it may take a significant time except during a pass for the Doppler to shift enough to update.
