Here is my setup:- I use the USB audio (instead of ACC audio)
On the IC-9700:- Press MENU button then Set then Connectors (on page 2)-
Press USB AF/IF Output, then select AF as output, and set AF Output level to
50%- AF SQL is OFF (Open)
On MMSSTV software in my computer:- Select Option then Setup MMSSTV(O)-
Select Misc tab- on Device ID, you have to try all selection to find the
correct audio input
Hope that helps,

Content-Type: text/plain;	charset="us-ascii"

After watching Daniel, W5EKG's You Tube video, I had SatPC32 and the
IC-9700 working beautifully on the first try.  (Thanks, Daniel!) The
radio frequency tracked the software real-time just like it should.

However, after playing around for a few minutes (changing satellites,
turning the main tuning knob, etc.) The radio suddenly stopped
following the frequency changes from SatPC32.  The frequency
intermittently updates after 10-20 seconds accompanied by the
frequency on the radio display flashing white from MAIN to SUB for a
brief moment.  Usually nothing happens until I choose another
satellite then the frequency updates once then...crickets.

Pertinent information:

Windows 10
IC-9700 Firmware 1.05
Icom Driver Version 1.30
Baud Rate: 19200 (Tried dropping it to 9600)
The AFC is turned off.
Tried rebooting the software.
Tried rebooting the computer, etc.

Any clues?

More train Doppler effect.
These are sound waves, but the RF FM principle is the same.
Not sure why they don't use AM in space, like in aviation...I.e. NO Doppler
effect.

SSB is just 1/3rd of AM (one sideband, no carrier), and we still have
doppler to deal with on the linear sats....   What do you mean by this?

But AM is just amplitude modulation imposed on an electromagnetic wave.
If you've got waves, I'm pretty sure you're going to have a Doppler
effect.

Maybe aviation doesn't show much Doppler because they are going
relatively slowly (compared to spacecraft) and they operate in the VHF
realm, where Doppler is less obvious (like 2m on the satellites).

I'm pretty sure the reasons for AM in aviation was because equipment was
cheap and easy to build when the aviation band was formed and if 2 stations
doubled they would both be heard.

 My guess for not not having perceived doppler in aviation is because
aircraft aren't flying at 17,500mph and they are using VHF frequencies.
Feel free to contact me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for all the replies, both on and off list.

I should have given my satellite background in my first email; it would
have saved some of you quite a bit of typing! :-)

I'm an AMSAT Ambassador, AMSAT-NA Life Member, and my very first satellite
QSO was on AO-13 in 1993 (but then I was inactive on the birds for 20
years) - and did learn a few things I didn't know at Hamvention's AMSAT
Academy. :-)  I have given "Satellite 101" talks to about 10 clubs in the
past 2 years,  have manned info tables at a few hamfests, and may tackle a
couple of hamfest forums solo during the next year.

I had hoped my question about receive versus transmit was specific enough
(since I know how to operate the birds and explain doppler when I give
presentations at clubs), but as I said, it would have been helpful to you
respondents if you had already been familiar with my background. Perhaps I
could have worded it better, and been more succinct. I'm glad that I got so
many answers - and I did get a comprehensible, clear, answer right off the
bat - and hopefully your responses will help those who just "lurk" on the
BB to understand doppler better and how to work the sats more effectively.

So thanks again to all who replied!

the other reason to stick with AM is that you can hear if other stations
are trying to break in. FM has capture and blocks all but the strongest
station. AM can superimpose multiple signals and hear if emergency calls
may be made. Additionally, in the '30's FM was nearly impossible to
generate reliably. AM doesn't depend on the transmitter's stability (to
an extent).

AMSAT President Awarded Russian E.T. Krenkel Medal

AMSAT President and ARRL Life Member Joe Spier, K6WAO, has been
awarded the Russian E.T. Krenkel Medal, a prestigious award granted
to individuals and organizations for outstanding global contributions
to Amateur Radio.

Joe Spier, K6WAO is a long time supporter of Amateur Radio in Space
and international cooperation. K6WAO is the President of the Radio
Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT). He has also served AMSAT as
Executive Vice President, and Vice President, Educational Relations.

He is a long term supporter of Amateur Radio on the International
Space Station (ARISS) and scientific, technical, engineering, and
mathematics education. Spier is an AMSAT Life Member. He also is a
Life Member of American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the Society
of Amateur Radio Astronomers (SARA).

The award's namesake, Ernst Teodorovich Krenkel, was a radio amateur
who, over the years, used the call signs RAEM, U3AA, and UA3AA. Born
in Poland, Krenkel was an Arctic explorer who took part in the first
Soviet "drifting station," North Pole-1. He was made a "Hero of the
Soviet Union" in 1938 for his exploits.

Krenkel's son, T.E. Krenkel, is among the four signatories to the
award certificate. The younger Krenkel, a professor at the Moscow
Technical College of Telecommunication and Informatics, said his
father was an avid radio amateur who served as the first chairman
of the Central Radio Club in the USSR.

Krenkel's image appears on postage stamps from the USSR and Russia,
and he authored a biography entitled My Callsign is RAEM. In the era
when all radio amateurs received QSL cards via Box 88, Moscow, Krenkel
was allowed to have his own postal address on his QSLs and was issued
the non-standard RAEM call sign.

Information about the Krenkel Medal can be found at:

In addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the

 About AM vs SSB - AM signals sound the same even if the carrier is a bit
off frequency, whereas SSB signals can become difficult to copy when
off-frequency.? Being able to copy without having to fiddle with the
controls would be important in aviation.?

I am composing a presentation about FM sats, hopefully to be given in a few
months at a hamfest.
How to remember which way to compensate for doppler:
Always adjust the higher frequency. For V/u or U/v sats, this means adjust
the 70cm side and leave the 2m side fixed.
Which way to move it?  Very easy to remember.
If 70cm is the UPlink, you'll adjust your transmit frequency UPward through
the pass.
If 70cm is the DOWNlink, you'll adjust your receive frequency DOWNward
through the pass.

I think others have basically explained why.
