Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
There are two versions of SatPC32 available for download for North American
users
a) 128d_991 release date June 2019
b) 128d_Scope_Digi release date July 2020
SatPC32 version released June 2019 works properly with the FT-817nd.
*SatPC32 version released July 2020 DOES NOT work properly with the
FT-817nd.*
I'll forward a note to the author of the program (DK1TB) and make them
aware of this issue.

Subject: SatPC32 and Yaesu FT-817nd not working properly
To: <AMSAT-BB@?????.???>
Hi All,
I've used SatPC32 with my Icom IC-910H successfully, I tried using SatPC32
with my Yaesu FT-817nd and ran into some problems tonight. I'm seeking
setup and troubleshooting help..
*a) Anomalous Behavior of FT-817nd*
Frequency does not change to satellite frequencies
Frequency stays on 7 MHz
On SatPC32 start up, mode on FT-817 changes from LSB to FM (in accordance
with AO-27)
Radio rapidly switches between VFOa and VFOb a couple times when I select
different satellites
Correct mode (CW/FM) seems to be chosen.
*b) FT-817nd notes*
Factory reset performed
CAT rate kept at 4800
Split mode is shown when SatPC32 is run
I've tried two different FT-817nd's and they both exhibit this anomalous
behavior.
*c) SatPC32 setup parameters worth mentioning*
version 12.8d - fresh installation
C+ i CAT control is ON
A- automatic satellite chane OFF
V- VFO mode OFF
..........<Radio Setup> parameters............
Radio 1 "Yaesu"
Model FT-817
Baudrate 4800 (verified same as menu item #14 "CAT RATE" on FT-817nd)
COM port - 7 (verified correct with Windows Device Manager. I plugged
and unplugged the CAT cable and could see COM7 appear and disappear with
the Windows Device Manager)
CAT delay 110
no boxes checked: RTS+12, DTS+12, KCT-Tuner, Auto Sat Rx/Tx change,
Satellite Mode
Radio 2 none
*d) Reading the manual*
I've read and followed the directions in the SatPC32 manual closely,
including the 'Hints for Yaesu radio" file.
*e) Communications to Yaesu verified with another program*
I verified the computer and CAT cable can communicate with the FT-817nd at
least when using CHIRP. I was able to successfully program memory channels
in both FT-871nd's..
*QUESTIONS*
a) is there a known problem with using this version of SatPC32 with an
FT-817nd?
b) Any thoughts of additional troubleshooting steps I could take?
I suspect I just missed something in the setup manual, but I can't seem to
figure out what. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Curt / K7ZOO

Looking for something new to do?? How about receiving DATV from the ISS??
Please note that the HamTV system has been brought back to earth for
troubleshooting.? Please monitor ARISS-EU or ARISS-ON for the very latest
news on the troubleshooting efforts.?
?
If interested, then please go to the ARISS-EU website for complete details.?
Look for the buttons indicating Ham Video. ????????????

Frank,
I am not an expert on the internals of FoxTelem, but I have seen no other
answers, so I will chime in and ask whether you had FoxTelem installed on
this same system earlier and whether you are starting it up specifying a
data folder. (You do this by specifying a folder either on the command
line if you start it that way, or in the shortcut properties). If you
specify a data folder (directory), that has to be writable by you.
It says "run directory". That would be the directory where you actually
placed the folder that you downlinked, and which includes a "FoxTelem.jar"
file. Is that writable, or did you somehow put it in a location that may
be accessible to multiple users but not writable?
73,
Burns WB1FJ
