How are they "restrictive", Scott?
Other than limiting a station to one contact per FM satellite, I've
never found them restrictive at all.

I have a fully registered version, but I am still limited to 12 satellites?
When I click on the "V" on the left and make it "V+" so that I can correct
the uplink and downlink frequencies, I try to change the frequency using the
up and down arrows under the 20, 100, 500, 1k and 5k labels. But it only
changes the downlink. Why?
Once I can hear my downlink and I toggle the "V" back to "V-" then how do I
save the corrected frequencies to Doppler.SQF
What if I want to use SatPC32 to tune around the passband and look for other
stations? What are the steps for that?
I want the Countdown window to attach to the right. It does that on one
computer, but attaches to the left on another.
I am using my FT817, and have the CAT working. When listening to FO-29, I
try to tune the VFO but it keeps putting me back on the frequency shown in
SatPC32.
Another weird behavior...in CAT control mode, it keeps jumping between
uplink and downlink frequencies. How do I stop this? Is that the special
FT817 configuration I need to use?

Mark:
SatPC32 is a very powerful program, but many aspects of it are not at
all intuitive or easy to decipher. I'll try my best to answer your
questions. I'm still working out some kinks in my own setup, but I've
learned a bit about it in the process.
As far as I know yes, you're limited to satellites A-L regardless of
registration.
I think the up/down arrows to the right of the frequencies must be for
downlink correction (thus it doesn't change the uplink).
Turning on V+ means that tuning the radio will feed those freqs back to
SatPC32, rather than just SatPC32 to the radio. If you're tuning the
radio's VFO but the computer keeps changing the radio back, then you
need to turn V+ on.
To save your corrected freqs to Doppler.SQL, open the CAT menu and hit
"Change/Store Dataf File", then save either the uplink correction or the
frequencies, or both. It's my understanding that you want to find the
right uplink correction and store that instead of the downlink
correction (although that's a bit more complicated when using a single 817).
Once you have the uplink calibrated, you can tune around the passband
either by turning on V+ and using the radio's knob, or use the arrow
keys (and numeric keypad) on the computer's keyboard.
With a single 817, it sets the rig into split mode where it uses VFO A
for receive and VFO B for transmit. It cannot tune a VFO that's not
being displayed, so in order to tune the transmit it's got to switch
from A (receive VFO) to B (transmit VFO), make the tuning adjustment,
then switch back to A. Yes, it's very annoying. There's also (small?)
risk of transmitting on the receive VFO, which could toast an external
preamp if you have one installed. I solved this problem by using TWO 817s.

They are fine, though confusing about the meaning of contacting "different
satellites." Does that mean that "satellite" is a band and working a station
on more than one satellite would be a dupe? I'm not sure. AMSAT rules allow
you to work the same station on multiple satellites.

You are not limited to only 12 satellites on SatPC. There are satellite
groups (I believe 6) which can hold 12 each. When you go under the
satellite label, you'll see the name of the various groups.

To expand on my last comment, it looks like you can put in at least 12
groups. That adds up to a lot of satellites.

Mark,
A single FT-817 does not lend itself to satellite operations. Most people
use two. However, Mark, WA8SME came up with a small device which sits in
the CAT line and improves single rig operation. You can/could get it from
the ARRL Online Store:
http://www.arrl.org/news/ft-817-satellite-interface-available-as-a-kit
It is a very simple kit, and Mark gives excellent tech support.

Jeff and Paul,
The way I read ARRL FD rule 7.3.7, each satellite is a separate "band,"
though you can make only one QSO on each FM satellite (unlimited on non-FM
sats). Only one 100-point bonus, though.
Look for me from WE7GV on FO-29 and possibly AO-7.

It took awhile but ARRL came close to duplicating our rules. Those that
wish to play satellite do not hog the FM birds as much so that the
non-regular satellite players have at least a slight chance for a
satellite contact.

Hi all-
ARRL Field Day rules lump all satellites together as a single band:
"Satellite."
While you are limited to one QSO on the FM satellites, there is no limit to
the number of QSOs you can make on transponder sats.?Sean Kutzko Amateur

Jeff and Paul,
The way I read ARRL FD rule 7.3.7, each satellite is a separate "band,"
though you can make only one QSO on each FM satellite (unlimited on non-FM
sats).? Only one 100-point bonus, though.
Look for me from WE7GV on FO-29 and possibly AO-7.
