Ok, so I am fairly new to SatPC32 since leaving my old setups....
I have dual FT-847's setup as follows:
FT-847 - TX/RX UHF, RX 2.4ghz (down convert to VHF)
FT-847 - TX/RX 2m
So, I setup SatPC32 for two radios. Both radios are being controlled.
Issue is it is fine for V/U, but then on a U/V SAT it has the frequencies
flip-flopped.
In other words, I think it always uses RADIO A for uplink and RADIO B for
downlink?
Is there a way to change/fix this behavior? I want U on the UHF radio and
V on the VHF radio.

Mike,
Is there a reason you want to use two FT-847s instead of just one?

Michael,
you want to use one radio for RX and TX on VHF, the other one for RX and
TX on UHF. So, I suppose you have the VFH antenna connected to one radio
and the UHF antenna to the other. You are right, normally Radio 1 is
always the receiver and Radio 2 the transmitter. So, if you switch
between V/U and U/V sats it would be necessary to switch the antennas,
e.g. using a transfer coax switch.
To avoid this disadvantage check option "Autom. Rx/Tx Change" in menu
"Radio Setup". (Leave all other options in the menu unchecked). This
feature will change the roles of the radios as Rx and Tx. If -e.g.-
radio A is the Radio 1 and connected to the UHF antenna it will be the
RX with V/U sats (Fo-29). You can tune the radio around the passband and
radio B will follow. If you switch to a U/V sat (AO-07) radio B will
become work as the RX. You can tune it in the passband and radio A will
follow.
This feature works only if you switch between v/u and u/v sats, not for
other bands like your 2.4 GHz downlink. Then you will? use the radio
with the downconverter for RX. If the uplink 2 m user the othe for TX,
if the uplink is UHF use the same FT-847.

A band on a train explains Doppler effect the best.
On board the train, the sounds are normal, I.e. the frequency is constant.

Hi John!
It was nice to hear you on that AO-91 pass this afternoon. Thankyou for the
quick contact! How was your demonstration received bythe students?

I will be at the Everett Sr. High School with 15 - 20 Physic students and
their teacher to demonstrate the concept of Amateur Radio using a satellite
- AO-91.??? It's near the end of the school year and the teacher will be
doing hands-on project which include a balloon launch with a smart package
that will tell GPS, temperature, direction using APRS.???? I will be setting
up my tripod with a PA system for work as many of you as I can.
Wednesday Jun 5 at 12:29 (PDT) 1929 UTC from Grid CN87.? (I know, not the
most rare grid). ? We will be on the front lawn of the school.
I hope we can demonstrate how well we can exchange calls and grids in the
shot time it's over us.
Any suggestion, please email me offline
Thank you
