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

The ISS will be sending Slow Scan TV images on December 5th, 6th, 7th,
and 8th (not 24/7! Watch video for details or see schedule below). I
made a quick video screen capture of Orbitron satellite tracker so you
can see if you'll be in range of the ISS when it's sending the images.
There will be nine passes over the United States.
See video description for relevant links.

I don't see why not.? I have LOTW matches for AO-7 QSO's where the band
is specified as 2M.? Matter of fact my logging program uploads the
downlink frequency only for sat QSO's and I have hundreds if not
thousands of matches.? When I have cards checked by a field checker they
are only looking for a satellite not frequencies.

I?ve got a couple of 20m SO-50 QSOs confirmed in LOTW... :-)
So I doubt the band is the issue with the 5K0T qsos.

Thanks to suggestions from N8MH and WA8SME, Data jack cabling now working.
Hope to be on Falconsat-3 soon although optimal passes here are 25-29
degrees elevation.
For those interested, the IC-910H only uses the Data jacks for I/O when PTT
is asserted at the jack itself. Input level needs to be ~ 0.4 V p-p or
less. Otherwise, internal limiter shuts down modulation.
Best to all,

Just heard from the 5K0T QSL manager regarding the sat logs...
"Was a wrong set time in the pc. I corrected all Sats log.
I?ll upload the log to LoTW next year, after it be clear.
Also upload fast the OQRS and Direct asked QSL."
Should be good to go... of course, your mileage may vary. =^) If you have
any more problems, suggest you check with their QSL manager. 73, N4UFO
