A long shot, but maybe try running it in Compatibility mode?

Images of Ultima Thule from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager on New
Horizons are being posted at:
http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/UltimaThule-Encounter
They don't look like much today, but we expect to see much better images in
less than 24 hours.
The entire mission results are at http://www.pluto.jhuapl.edu and the PBS
program NOVA will do a special show about the Ultima Thule encounter on
Wednesday evening on your local Public Broadcasting station (in the USA at
least).

I?ve been using my well faded Arrow for 4 years. The boom is a much
appreciated LIDstick so the old man can swing it as well as a 3 year old.
Has anyone modified the Arrow to have 2m and 70cm elements in the same plane
(instead of stock 90 degrees)? I?m just curious what the performance result
might be - I know it would be easier to get in and out of the RoverMobile
instead of doing the twist-and-angle it out.

Hi Doug,
Simply moving them into the same plane will likely cause problems because
the bands are harmonically related. The 2m elements will make a mess of
the 70cm radiation pattern if they're in the same plane. That said, I did
just stumble across a satellite yagi design where the elements were
intentionally in the same plane. Only the 2m yagi is fed and a passive 70
cm driven element is placed close to the 2m driven element so the 2m
element excites the 70 cm passive element, causing it to radiate on 70 cm.
I believe it's called an open sleeve design. I think it was 3 elements on
2m and 3 or 4 elements on 70 cm. Sorry I didn't bookmark the page. I
don't remember where I saw it. Hopefully someone else saw it and remembers.
Happy New Year,
Ken

Jim, I bought my Kenwood TS-2000X in 2009. I use a Serial to USB converter
and it has worked flawlessly with SatPC32 ever since day one.

Happy New Year to all of you.
James,
try the following settings in menu 'Radio Setup': CAT baud rate 57600,
CAT delay 30.
Options 'Satellite Mode' and 'RTS +12V' checkedd, all other options
unchecked.
Men? 'CAT': Interval SSB: 50, FM: 100, Speed 1x.
Beginning with SatPC32 V. 12.8c it is necessary to check option 'RTS
+12V',? see FAQs, sect. 5q. The TS-2000 requires hardware handshaking.
Setting the RTS pin high simulates that (5 V of the USB-to-Serial
converters are sufficient.
The PC can't be too fast for the software because of the fix baudrate.
73s, Erich,? DK1TB

They were loading a bit slow which could mean the program is not waiting

Happy New Year to all the Bird Folk of North America,
Today is my final day in Hawaii. I am planning to be on AO-7 at 2253Z from
BL11 and will find a perfect horizon, this pass has footprint about as far
east as you?ll ever see to Hawaii. At 0215Z I will work FO-29 from BL01,
this pass is a little further west but since it?s coming from the NE I
should also be able to find a perfect horizon for it which should allow
QSOs as far east as Ohio and maybe even parts of Pennsylvania. Might do a
few random passes throughout the day or passes by request, Twitter is best
for that AL6D_Alaska. Can do passes as late as 0600Z likely.

Hello Chris,
Unlike ARRL, there is no provision (that I know of...) for electronic
copies of past journals.
Occasionally, misprints or other events cause a PDF to be available here:

I'm not sure if anyone has modified an Arrow to put the elements in the same
plane.
However, Kent's "cheap LEO" yagi puts the 2m and 70cm elements all in the
same plane, so it can be done (if you know what you are doing.) See
