Hi, CAT control: The program installs with the Icom device address $60 (default address of IC-910H). Did you change that? The item can be selected with the upper one of the 2 combo boxes in the upper left section of the menu. Click on the control right of the word "Model" to select the items "Baudrate" and "Addresses".

The IC-821H requires the following settings in menu "Radio Setup": Brand: Icom Model: IC-821H, Baudrate equal with the radio and the program, choose 19200, Icom device address: $4C (default address of the IC-821H), proper COM port number, CAT delay: 70 Save the changes and restart the program.

Rotor control:

From the list in menu "Rotor Setup" select the item "SAEBRTrackBox". Click

on "Store" in the upper section of the menu and restart SatPC32. ServerEasyComm should be started automatically and show up in the task line. Click on it to show it nomally and click on "Help" for detailed instructions. The "Help" text can also be opened from the SatPC32 menu "?", "Hints[Rotor]", "SAEBRTrackBox".

I just got my CD for SATPC32 and I need help! I plugged in the values for CAT and Rotor control but I can't seem to get it working. Rig is ICOM IC-821H and rotor interface is W4SME/EasyComm1 interface. Any brave soul out there care to provide guidance? It's probably something I have overlooked since the setup works well with NOVA, at least as far as Rotor control is concerned.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
