The frequency update rate depends on the update interval you select under the CAT menu. Note that the interval is the frequency change, not a time interval.

There are 2 separate tuning interval options you can select: one for SSB/CW signals, and one for FM signals. Typically, a tuning interval of 100Hz is fine for CW and SSB signals, while the FM interval should be set according to the capabilities of your radio and the actual mode of operation. 600 Hz should be fine for FM voice, while a smaller interval might be desireable for packet.

Regardless of the interval you choose, updates will happen faster near the center of a pass....

Hi all,

Finally succeeded to copy and record CP6 CW beacon.

The digital mode sounds difficult to inercept, as it is very short, imediately following the CW transmission, and appears only every 30 seconds,which i think makes it impossible to manually tune on the SSB signal.

In addition, when using SatPC auto Doppler compensation (programming the IC910H via CAT), the received frequency "jumps"every 1 second. As far as I remember, this rate can not be changed. I guess that updating the transceiver every 100mS would make the audio pitch much more constant and smooth.

I will try later on to activate CalPoly's parsing software. (Tips are welcome... :-)

thanks!
