I’m in the process of building a satellite station at our vacation house. I am planning on using my K3/P3 with downconverters for receive. I’m considering using a ic-7100 for the uplink but am not certain it is compatible with SatPC32. Is anyone using the 7100 in this way? It’s either that or the FT-991.

I asked this question a few months ago and was told Satpc32 and a 7100 will work fine together. What I was most concerned about when I asked was whether Satpc32 could adjust the 7100's transmit frequency while transmitting, and it turns out it can.
You can't do this with Yaesu, i.e., Satpc32 cannot adjust the transmit freq while transmitting, so Satpc32 will wait until the rig is not transmitting and then make the adjustment.
Hope this helps!
