About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

AnInternational Space Station school contact has been planned
withparticipants at AirdrieSpace Science Club, Airdrie, AB, Canada
on15May.The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:10UTC. It is
recommended that you start listening approximately 10minutes before this
time. The duration of the contact isapproximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be aMulti-Point Telebridge between NA1SS and
ZS6JON.Amulti-point telebridge contact means that each student will be on
thetelebridge from their own home. Thecontact should be audible over
portionsof South Africa and adjacent areas.Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHzdownlink. The contact is expected to be conducted
in English. Theevent will be live streamed at https://youtu.be/2mflSlShPHA?.
Story:
Forthe past 10 years, the Airdrie Space Science Club has provided youthaged
10-14 the chance to build and launch model rockets, look at theuniverse
during astronomy evenings, and participate in special eventssuch as ARISS
contacts, and high-altitude balloon launches.
Participantswill ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1.How has seeing Earth from its orbit affected you, in your frame ofreference
whenmoving around the ISS, or
inyour perspective of humanity as a whole?
2.What happens if you vomit in the space station? How do you clean itup?
3.How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected you while you are in space?
4.What will be your first meal when you get back to Earth?
5.What does it feel like when the rocket lifts off?
6.What does the space station smell like?
7.Was training to be astronaut harder or easier than training to be anavy
seal?
8.What experiment that you've done had the most unexpected results?What was
the
expectedand actual
outcomeof said experiment?
9.How successful is your 3-D printer on the station?
10.We are a model rocket building club. Did you ever build modelrockets when
you
wereyoung?
11.What does microgravity feel like on your body?
12.Does the Earth look any clearer or less polluted now compared to whenyou
flew
in2009 and with Canadian
ChrisHadfield in 2013?
13.Do you play any games while you are on the ISS?
14.What kind of music do you listen to?

Yes, all USB ports are set never to go to sleep.? I've even tried with
external powered hub and issue still remains.? Gone through all the
settings with a fine tooth comb too.? Unplugging/replugging the USB
cable as Erich suggested also doesn't work and he also says there is a
problem.
There's currently a thread "IC-9700 with SatPC32 not updating" at
ic-9700@??????.?? where users are having the same issue.
Been using SatPC32 for many years with FT-847 and IC-9100 and it's been
great.? Only now with the IC-9700, there is this problem.? The satellite
scene in VK is quiet so never really had to use the VFO much to scan the
bandpass on linear birds.? RS-44 changed this and it is busy.? Many
users now can be heard from SE Asia.
So, I've currently downgraded my setup to use CI-V, as it's proving a
hassle with RS-44.
Will give PSTrotator a go and see if the issue remains.

Thanks Erich
I know there are 3 players involved. The software, the computer+drivers
and the radio. It only takes one of them to fail for it not to work. I am
not a big fan of USB connections for 100% reliability and I should move
over to using the CI-V Level port to a proper RS232 port on the computer.
Too bad the Icom doesn't do a true TCP/IP connection on a port the way
the Flex radios do it and we got away from RS232 1/2 century old
technology. :)
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Thanks for all your hard work.

connected with 85ft of Andrew's LDF7-50A 1 5/8 hardline.

Bob,
I am using the TS-2000 with the 1.2Ghz module (factory fit, max power 10W),
for AO-92 L-mode using about 1 or 2W into a Wimo 23T Helix with about 15m of
Ecoflex 15 coax. as feeder.
