Hi Mike,
Neat project. Rest assured that both the 910 and 9100 work just fine with
three bands and SatPC32, all via software without any buttons needing to be
pressed. Evidently Erich DK1TB has it mastered. You might email him? He
might save you some time.
73,

Hi!
On Monday (31 December 2018), I will make a quick road trip out to the
DM22/DM32 grid boundary in Yuma County, Arizona. I am planning to work
the AO-91 and AO-92 passes from a spot north of the I-8 freeway about
25 miles east of Yuma. After those passes, I'll head back to Phoenix
and (hopefully) avoid the New Year's Eve craziness on the roads.
While driving, I should be visible using APRS as WD9EWK-9:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
Except while driving, I will use my @?????? Twitter account to post
updates while I am out there. If you don't have a Twitter account, you
can still see these updates using a web browser at:
http://twitter.com/WD9EWK
I will upload my DM22/DM32 log to Logbook of the World after I return
home. If you would like a DM22/DM32 QSL card to confirm a contact, please
e-mail me directly with the QSO details. If you are in my log, I will
send a card. No need to send me a QSL card or SASE.
Thanks, and 73!

Hello all,
Does anyone know of commercial sources of any of the following
omnidirectional satellite antennas suitable for amateur use?
- QHA
- Turnstile
- Lindenblad
There are many plans for constructing such antennas, but I haven?t found any
commercial varieties through common Amateur sources (other than M2 which
makes egg beaters).
Thanks & 73!

Mike,
before you send a command to one of the VFOs (set/read frequency and
mode, Ctcss-tone etc.) you have to send a command that speciefies the
VFO to which the following command(s) will be sent. The specified VFO
will automatically accept VHF, UHF and L frequencies? (if you have that
module). The command and sub command bytes for the IC-910H in
non-satellite mode are: VFO A: 07 00, VFO B: 07 01. Satellite mode Main
VFO: 07 D0, Sub VFO: 07 D1. Of course, you need? to send always the
complete command string incl. header and FD as terminator, see manual p.
78/79.
To switch bands send the command bytes 07 B0. As Mark, N8MH, mentioned
already: You don't need to switch anything manually.
73s, Erich, DK1TB
