SATPC32 - Is there a way to adjust downlink only?
Hi,
I'm using an Icom IC-9100 and the RIT control is almost useless as it changes frequency very slowly. To change 1 KHz takes about 15 seconds, a lifetime on a pass. In other words if a station calls me and they are a KHz off, then they will be off the air before I can get the RIT set.
I'm running SatPC32 v 12.8d. The manual implies that there are Downlink adjustments when the V+ mode is turned on, but I only see uplink adjustments to the right of the frequency display that can either be moused up/down, or respond to the +/- keys.
Perhaps there is something else that would open Downlink adjustment to the left of the display? Or maybe other keys that adjust the Downlink?

Bob,
Open the CAT option on the top bar. Inside you will find to adjustment girds, one of RX and one for TX. I think that will accomplish what you are trying to do. On my IC-901H is use the RIT control which is good for samll cahnges. If more than that I just retune my VFO to their frequency.
