Good installation practices are key. Try to force contractors going

I have a school that I'm mentoring that needs to know if SATPC32 can be used
to control an Icom IC-275H.
Has anyone had experience with doing this and can confirm it will work?

It should work as it uses Icom's CI-V protocol. Even my Icom IC-R10
handheld receiver, which also uses CI-V, works flawlessly with
SatPC32.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I'm trying to get Satpc32 working on Win7. I have ver 12.8c loaded and it
works fine for tracking but so far I have not been able to get the rotor
interface working.
I have an LVB Tracker and it's on Com 5. I can manually move the antennas
with the SDX server window but NOT from witing the program.
I found and old (from 2010) message from W7IN detailing the exact same
problem I'm having and a response from Erich.
My problem as defined by Larry:
>> I have a Windows 7 Inspiron desktop. I just installed the SatPC32 for

I've tried ALL the suggestions, even as Administrator but still no joy.
Perhaps over the last 7 years the program has changed the location and
format of some of the config/ SQF files???
It seems when I update the Rotor Setup settings the RotorServer.SQF file in
the SatPC32 folder is NOT being updated.
C:\Users\KC2TN\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32 is the location of the
RotorServer.SQF file
Any ideas? Anyone?

Hi Dave!
Direct from the SatPC32 Website...(Read the last line)
The frequency- and mode-control works with the following radios:
Yaesu transceivers FT-736R, FT-847, FT-817, FT-857 and FT-897,
Kenwood transceivers TS-790E/A and TS-2000,
ICOM transceivers IC-820, IC-821, IC-910H und IC-9100,
ICOM receivers and transmitters, that work with the same cat protocol (i.e.
IC-275, IC-475).
Also states it does on the FAQ

Outernet is a satellite downlink receivable anywhere in the world* from 3
GEO sateliltes that carries an APRS and an AMSAT channel on it. I wanted
to demo it at Dayton, but I just checked mine and apparently the cover blew
off and the electroncs have been sitting in the rain for a few months..
All it is, is a RaspberryPi, an SDR dongle and a patch antenna and that

I got it working Glenn?
Thanks for your replies ?they got me more focused on what the problem might
be.
As it turns out, I was misinterpreting what the program was asking me for
under Rotor Setup.
Since the ?search? button took me to the Kepler folder and showed me ALL the
Sat groups,
I thought the program was asking for one of those and using it as part of a
config type file.
It just dawned on me that the Server File it was asking for was actually the
ServerSDX.Executable.
Once I navigated out of the Default Kepler folder to the SatPC32 folder and
selected the ServerSDX file it all worked.
I guess my brains took a day or so off!
Incidentally, the SatPC32 Help(?) for Hints(Rotor)\Yaesu_GS-232 does not
bring anything up on my computer. The other selections work OK.
So, I?m automagically tracking now and moving on to the radio interfacing of
my 910H and CIV to SatPC32.

Thanks, that's a good piece of info!
I'm hoping to hear from Erich also.
Can you tell me which folder the "RotorServer.SQF file is located?
And are you using V12.8c?

When you start your SatPC32 does the SDX Server start also? With an icon for
both SatPC32 and SDX server in the tool tray?
Yes. ServerSDX starts first, then SatPC32.
I think there's a pathing issue with regards to some of the .SQF files.
If you think so, try a clean reinstall.

Hi All,
This is to let you know that AO-73/FUNcube is now in amateur mode for the
weekend, with transponder activated. We are early this weekend due to ground
station availability.
As per normal, we will switch back to autonomous mode on Sunday pm UTC.

FUNcube frequencies and other details
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
AO-73 FUNcube-1
The transponder is normally operational only when the satellite is in
eclipse, ie the solar panels are NOT being illuminated. During weekends
(from pm Fridays UTC to PM Sundays UTC) the transponder is operational 24/7.
When the transponder is switched off, the telemetry beacon is on full power,
when the transponder is on the beacon it is on low power. During holidays,
eg Christmas, New Year, Easter, etc, the transponder maybe activated for
extended periods. Watch AMSAT-BB for announcements which are usually made on
Friday evenings (UTC)
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.150 - 435.130 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.950 - 145.970 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.935 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 15kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Low
temperatures give higher freqs!)
FUNcube-2 aka FUNcube on UKube
The FUNcube-2 sub-system continues to operate autonomously and, almost
continuously, in amateur mode. The transponder is operational and the
telemetry downlink is functioning with about 70mW output. The FUNcube-1
Dashboard does not correctly display the telemetry but it does correctly
decode the data and uploads it to the FUNcube Data Warehouse from where it
can be examined. Most of the real time data channels are operational and
these include battery voltages, temperatures and ADCS data coming via the
main On Board Computer (OBC).
The transponder is interrupted for a few seconds every 2 minutes when the
other transmitter sends its CW beacon and, occasionally, for a few seconds
when the main OBC reboots (approx seven times each orbit).
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.080 - 435.060 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.930 - 145.950 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.915 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 10kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Low
temperatures give higher freqs!)
EO79 FUNcube-3
Due to power budget constraints the transponder cannot be operational 24/7
and an orbit specific schedule has been developed. The transponder will
commence operation 27 minutes after the spacecraft enters sunlight and will
stay on for a period of 25 minutes. This schedule may be modified in future
months as a result of experience.
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.0723-435.0473 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.946-145.971 MHz USB

peration/EO88
Nayif-1 FUNcube-5EO88 is presently operating in autonomous mode. The
transponder isoperational when the satellite is in eclipse, ie the solar
panels are NOTbeing illuminated.When the transponder is switched off, the
telemetry beacon is on full power,when the transponder is on the beacon it
is on low power.The transponder frequencies are:Uplink: 435.045 ? 435.015
MHz LSB (inverting)Downlink: 145.960-145.990 MHz USBTelemetry Tx:
145.940MHzAll FUNcube transponders are sponsored by AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL.
We are verygrateful for the assistance given by Innovative Solution In Space
