I have an IC-9100 and tried for quite a while to get it to work with the HRD. I do not want to disparage HRD at all, I use it for all my HF work, it's a fantastic suite of software. However, the Satellite part just isn't up to the same level that the rest of it is. From my tribulations with HRD and my IC-9100, I can say:

1. It works for tracking satellite beacons and NOAA weather sats just fine. Doppler correction works quite well

2. It doesn't support tones so you can't use it on SO-50 unless you edit the tone after HRD takes over the CAT, something I couldn't figure out

3. It could possibly work with linear transponders if you could figure out how to adjust the offsets. This is extremely difficult to do in HRD, and something I could never manage to get right.

4. Finally asking a question in the Satellite sub-forum on the support site never elicits any response, probably because no-one is using it.

So, like everyone else suggested, I switched to SatPC32 and it works with the IC-9100 perfectly.
