I will be active again from Miquelon Island, GN17, in a few weeks. I will
be setting up on Tuesday 24 September and leaving the evening of 8 October.
Most of my activity will be on the low bands. I will try to get on several
Satellite passes when the weather is ok. It is often foggy , windy, and wet
and I setup for the sats outside on the deck of the house. My horizon is
blocked a bit to the USA by the neighboring homes but I am right on the
water pointing to Europe so low passes are promising that direction.
Equipment is two FT-817s and an Arrow dual band yagi. I'll favor the SSB
birds usually higher in the passband but will also try FM if they do not get
too busy. Sat logging is by paper so may not get loaded to LoTW until the
week after I return to the USA.
There is a slight chance I may also be on grid GN16 if I am on St Pierre
Island or borrow a car a drive to Langlade Is. More information on the web

Rick,
Use Radio 1 for the receiver (your RSP1) and Radio 2 for your transmitter
(IC-7000).

Can SatPC32 (or any other software for that matter) change the transmit
frequency on an Icom transceiver while it is transmitting? Yaesu doesn't
permit this. I'm particularly interested in the Icom IC-7100.
Anybody know? Reading through the SatPC32 docs I see that there is a
sentence about Yaesu rigs (FT-817, 818, 857, 991 etc) saying it can't be
done), but no similar statement about Icoms (706, 7000, 7100 etc.)

Yes, I did read your email. You didn't specifically exclude the satellite
radios now, did you ; ) I was just adding some facts of which I am aware.
Do you have an IC-7100? If so, why don't you download SatPC32 and use in
trial mode to find out for yourself. and then let us know? :)

Hi mark,
I didn't specifically exclude them, but I didn't include them list in my
e-mail. The Yaesu and Icom rigs I listed are similar and not satellite
rigs.
I have SatPC already, but I can't test it on a 7100. I'm retired and live
in Thailand. I can't get a license here because the authorities here only
give out licenses to foreigners from a small handful of countries that have
reciprocal licensing agreements with Thailand, and Canada doesn't. Thus, I
can't legally import or own a transceiver. Plus, the 7100 has the 70cm
band, which isn't a legal ham band here, so I couldn't import one even if I
had a Thai license. Thai sat ops are limited to SO-50, FO-29 and
FO-99...and, well FO-29 is out of service.
I want to set up a satellite station at a ham friend's place back in
Toronto that I can operate remotely from here. I don't have the
opportunity to experiment to see if it's possible or not to control a
7100. I need to know before I buy one. I also can't afford to buy one
only to find out it won't work. I'm going home for a week in November and
have about one or two days to set the station up and get it working, so I
have to know that it will work. I'd like to get a 9700 but that's way out
of my reach...over twice the price of a 7100. I'll use an Airspy SDR as a
receiver.
If the docs that came with SatPC32 were just a little bit more explicit
then I'd have my answer and could proceed. The 7100 is on sale at the
local (Toronto) ham shop for a good price until the end of this month.

I use a 706MKIIG for my Tx rig, controlled by Gpredict (via Hamlib), and it
DOES change the Tx frequency during transmit.
The only problem I've seen is that it doesn't seem to maintain Tone
settings, so if you need a tone on the uplink, you have to constantly turn
it on as everytime the frequency updates the tone setting is erased.

Kenneth,
The issue lies not with SATpc32 but with the radio. I use an ICOM-910H and
I have a friend that runs an IC-7100. and has Satellite VUCC, The answer
is Icoms do allow for frequency change when transmitting. On SSB I have
the step size set very low, 20 Hz, and everything works fine.
