Elecraft for satellites
I'm sure I've asked this question if the group in the past, but periodically it's worth asking again. I'm curious if anyone is using these fine radios with transverters in the birds. If so is there compatible tracking software? It's a shame if not as the Elecraft quality and line including the K3 and companion transverters seems to offer great promise for satellite use.

The CAT protocol is compatible with Kenwood transceivers, so it's possible that SatPC32 would work fine with them.

The K3 is not fullduplex in any configuration.

Very good point, but not having full duplex hasn't stopped a lot of people from doing it!

I have 2 k3's and have not been successful at getting SATPC32 to control them both. The kenwood protocol and selection will work on 1 radio but not 2.
