As there are no recent full duplex rigs available to run full duplex cross band SSB I am considering using my two FT-817s with SatPC32 for this mode. Are there any problems that I need to watch out for? Any tips welcome.

The Icom IC-9100 and Kenwood TS-2000 are both current production radios that do full-duplex for satellite operation.
Two FT-817s will work fine with SatPC32, but be aware that the Yaesu CAT protocol doesn't allow frequency updates while you're transmitting, so be sure to unkey every sentence or so if you're in a ragchew to allow the frequency to update.

Dick, I just got my FT-817 pair (FT-1634) setup with SatPC32. I struggled with the getting the rigs to sync and tune until I chanced upon how to set the baud rate in the SatPC32. It is working flawlessly now, I just need to make time to sit on some passes and fine-tune the doppler adjustments. I figure this will be my next hurdle, but right now everything tracks when I tune either on Downlink radio or via SatPC32. Let me know if you have any difficulties in CAT configuration...73 Brad WF7T
