Sorry if this is old.

What are you using to get the two to talk to each other? I've used vspManager from K5FR without issue to talk to get Sat32PC to talk to HDSDR which was driving my SDRPlay. If you aren't getting any COM port errors, that's a good sign.  You might try using something like PuTTY to look at the other end of your virtual serial port setup to see if SatPC32 is talking through the port.  When a CAT session starts, you should see some letters pop up, like "FA;" (for the selected TS2000 radio).

Maybe your problem is something sill like forgetting to make sure "CAT to HDSDR" is activated.

Hi Group,

For the past several days I've been trying to get SatPC32 and HDSDR to communicate with each other via VSP Manager.  HDSDR is controlling an Airspy.

I have followed the instruction in the SatPC Help files.  In fact, everything seems relatively straightforward, except neither software knows the other is there and there is no communication. I have received some help from a few people on the @Amsat Twitter group who use this same setup successfully, but still no luck.

I'm hoping to get this up and running in time for my grid expedition to EO91 at the end of this month so I do have a few weeks.  However, I don't know what else to try.  any assistance would be gratefully accepted!

73,
