What's new:

(translated by Wayne Estes, W9AE)

Vers. 12.8

1. The 16-bit setup program has been replaced by the

latest 32-bit Vista compatible version of Installshield

Express.

2. The CAT steering functions of SatPC32 have been expanded:

a. The program now supports Doppler tuning with a single

ICOM IC-706MKIIG, IC-7000 and compatible radios,

although these radios are not full duplex satellite

transceivers. Previous versions of SatPC32 already support

satellite operation with a single one of the Yaesu half

duplex radios FT-817, FT-857, FT-897.

With half duplex transceivers you can't hear your own

signal on the downlink like you can with full duplex

radios. However, the program automatically sets the uplink

and downlink frequencies to the correct values. So, it

allows voice operation over FM and SSB satellites and

also digital operation. Read the "Hints for .... users

of Icom radios" how to calibrate SSB frequencies when

using a half duplex radio. The file can be opened from

the SatPC32 menu "?" / "Hints for...".

b. Full duplex satellite operation with 2 separate radios

for uplink and downlink has been improved.

Previously, one had to run the tool TxController (that came

with SatPC32) to steer 2 separate radios. SatPC32 then

steered the RX radio directly and TxController the second

radio as the TX. Via DDE, TxController received the data

calculated by SatPC32, using the data to steer the mode and

frequency of the TX radio.

A problem occured when the user switched between a V/U

satellite (uplink on VHF, downlink on UHF, e.g. AO-51) and

an U/V satellite (uplink on UHF, downlink on VHF, e.g.

VO-52). With V/U satellites the VHF radio had to run as

the TX and the UHF radio as the RX, with U/V satellites the

situation was vice versa. Since TxController could only

steer the TX radio, a second instance of SatPC32 and

TxController and a program re-start were necessary when

the user switched between such satellites.

Now SatPC32 itself steers also the second radio directly.

The configuration can be done in the "Radio 2" section of

the menu "Radio Setup".

Numerous devices can be combined, e.g. the Yaesu semi

duplex transceivers with each other or with Icom semi

duplex radios or single band radios or Icom radios with

each other.

With 2 Icom radios only a single serial port is required.

Both radios can be connected in parallel to the

CAT interface.

When the user switches from a V/U satellite to a U/V

satellite or vice versa the program will (optionally)

exchange the roles of both radios as TX and RX.

Example: With FO-29 a FT-817 (that is connected to the UHF

antenna) runs as RX, an IC-706MKIIG (that is connected to

the 2m antenna) runs as TX. When the user tunes the FT-817

with the VFO around the passband the program will

automatically tune the frequency of the IC-706MKIIG to the

correct uplink frequency and the user will immediately hear

his signal on the new frequency.

When the user switches to a U/V satellite the IC-706MKIIG

will run as the RX on VHF. When the user tunes it's VFO the

program will tune the FT-817 to the correct UHF uplink

frequency.

3. The Vista compatibility has been improved. Previously the

SatPC32 data files were stored in the SatPC32 program folder.

They could be edited with Notepad.

Under Windows Vista, however, this method causes problems

if the new "User Account Control" (UAC) is activated

(recommended by Microsoft). Then Vista inhibits changes of

the original data files and creates copies with the changes

instead. Vista saves these copies in a hard-to-find

"compatibilty" folder.

Therefore the SatPC32 data files are no longer stored in the

program folder but in a sub folder 'SatPC32' in the system

folder for application data.

The program displays the path of this data folder in the

bottom line of the menu 'Satellites'.

4. SatPC32 now includes a simple text editor that can alternatively

be used to edit auxiliary files.

In the auxiliary file DivOptions.SQF the user can choose whether

he wants the auxiliary files to be opened with Notepad or with

the SatPC32 editor, see the hints in DivOptions.SQF.

5. Further improvements:

a. SatPC32 supports now the FMN (narrow FM) mode of the IC-910H.

In the file Doppler.SQF enter FMN as the mode if this mode is to be

set.

b. With previous version the menu "CAT" needed to be closed

when the satellite is changed. Otherwise the program could not

update the frequency list. That has been changed. So, the CAT

window can now be left open during operation. It should then be moved

out of the main window.

c. The program now shows the file date of the selected Keplerian

data file in the bottom line of the menu "Satellites". So the

user immediately knows whether the data should be updated.

d. SatPC32ISS:

CAT steering of the FT-736R didn't work reliably when the

satellite's uplink and downlink frequency are the same, e.g.

the packet frequency of the ISS on 145.825 MHz. This has been

fixed.

e. Some minor bugs have been fixed.

Vers. 12.7

1. The program now comes with additional sets of 2D and 3D

physical world maps. Via mouse click the user can switch

between political and physical maps.

2. The political 2D world maps have been updated. Now they show

the border lines of the successor states of the former

Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia.

3. The programs (SatPC32, SatPC32ISS and Wisat32) now support

rotor steering with the Italian rotor system ProSistel.

4. The "Uplink Calibration" feature has been expanded. With

previous versions this function could only be used with

"normal" SSB satellites (SSB on Uplink and Downlink). Now

it also works with mixed-mode satellites (Uplink: SSB,

Downlink:FM). Sometimes AO-51 is using this mode.

The "Uplink calibration" function allows users to automatically

calibrate the Uplink frequency for best audio pitch of their

downlink signal and to save the change. With future program

starts the user will then immediately hear his own downlink

when he switches to that satellite, without the necessity to

tune around and produce QRM.

Important: With SSB/FM satellites the SatPC32 control "V"

must be switched to "V+" before the "Uplink Calibration"

function can be used.

5. The programs (SatPC32, SatPC32ISS,Wisat32) no longer use the

IOPort.SYS driver for port access. This driver doesn't work on

64-bit systems. So, no special version of these programs is

necessary for 64-bit systems.

The driver was used to steer the German rotor interface IF-100.

Since direct steering of this Interface by SatPC32 is no longer

possible the update includes a little server program similar to

the rotor driver files for the other interfaces and controllers

supported by SatPC32. The new IF-100 server program is only

functional with 32-bit systems. The other rotor interfaces and

controllers - except the FodTrack interface and the KCT-Tracker -

are supported with 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

6. Some minor improvements have been made with SatPC32ISS, WinAOS

and WinListen.

Vers. 12.6

1. Previous program versions displayed the AOS and LOS

times of the next passes of the shown satellites inside

and below the world map. With version 12.6 the program

can alternatively count down the remaining hours and

minutes until the next AOS or LOS. A new control

button enables the user to toggle between the two

display modes.

The program updates the remaining times with each

update of the graphical window (by default every 10

seconds).

2. For a quick overview the program can optionally display

in a separate window a countdown of the remaining times

until the next AOS or LOS and show the maximum elevation

of the next pass of all selected satellites.

This window is also updated simultaneously with the

update of the graphical window.

3. The program can now output an acoustic message when a

satellite is rising. Thus it will draw the user's

attention to the rising even if he is not watching the

screen.

4. The sub tone steering functions of the program have been

expanded. These functions support now also the Kenwood

TS-790A.

5. The auxiliary program WinAOS has been improved. All

passes of a particular satellite can be highlighted

by clicking on the satellites' name. This facilitates

the overview over the coming passes of that satellite.

6. Some bugs have been fixed.

Vers. 12.5

1. With previous versions the program showed the AOS times of

the satellites below and within the world map. The program

now additionally shows the max. elevation of the next pass.

This will be helpful if at the user's location satellites

can only be received above a certain minimum elevation.

2. For the same reason WinAOS now allows users to define a minimum

elevation for the calculated passes.

3. The order of the selected satellites (menu 'Satellites') can

now be changed using 'Drag & Drop' in a list. It is no longer

necessary to delete and add satellites to change their order.

With Wisat a new little auxilary program can be used for this

purpose.

4. At program start SatPC32 switches the satellite transceivers

into satellite mode. This function can now optionally be

de-activated. This can be useful if separate radios are used

for Uplink and Downlink.

5. SatPC32ISS switches the Kenwood TS-2000 automatically into

Split mode. With previous program versions that had to be done

manually.

6. The automatic Internet updating of Keplerian data files has been

simplified.

7. Some bugs have been fixed, i.e. the following:

With previous program versions the direction arrows pointed into

a wrong direction when the satellite's SSP was close to the date

line.

With the 3D view the error message (floating point error) came

up in some situations.

Vers. 12.4a

At present this version can only be downloaded from

the internet. To update version 12.4 simply install

12.4a over that version.

Attention: Don't install 12.4a over 12.3 or older

program versions! If you are using an older version

SatPC32 12.4a must be installed into a completely

empty folder. You may - i.e. - rename your present

SatPC32 program folder "SatPC32_12.3" or similar.

Version 12.4a can then be installed into a new folder

"SatPC32" as suggested by the setup program. When the

new version is working flawlessly the old program

folder can simply be removed with the Windows Explorer

or any other file manager program.

1. With the south-centered 450-degree-rotor Yaesu G-5500

(or compatible) the new version supports the full

450-degree-range of that rotor. That avoids (even without

using the "Flip" mode) in several cases the 360° turn

the azimuth rotor has to run when the satellite crosses

the observer's meridian in the North.

2. An additional set of larger 3D-maps is available.

With the 3D-view the user can now choose 2 map sizes.

To activate the new function the self-extracting file

"Maps3D_2.Exe" must be unpacked in the new

sub folder "Maps3D_2".

3. SatPC32ISS (the special program version for in-band

operation with the ISS and other in-band satellites)

now also supports the Yaesu FT-847. With previous versions

this radio could not be steered. The revised file utilizes

the solution of Don Woodward, KD4APP.

4. The number of selectable COM ports has been increased

because several new PCI cards are using COM port numbers

higher than 10.

5. Some minor bugs have been fixed.

Vers. 12.4

1. The setup of the SatPC32 programs has been simplified.

In previous versions the user had to do the settings

in the auxiliary program 'SatSetup', in the menu

'Options' and some settings required manual editing

of auxiliary text files.

All settings regarding the user's location, rotor and

CAT steering can now be done in particular setup menus.

Also, all rotor driver files that come with SatPC32

now contain their own setup menus. Manual editing of

the auxiliary files is no longer necessary.

2. In previous program versions the driver files used by

SatPC32 to steer a particular interface had to be copied

into the SatPC32 program folder. This is no longer

required. SatPC32 now automatically selects the correct

driver file.

3. Updating of Keplerian data has been simplified, too.

Keps files from the Celestrak or AMSAT HTTP servers can

now be downloaded directly by SatPC32 via mouse click.

The program will automatically work with the new data

from the next program start.

Download of Space-Track files and replacing the unhandy

Space-Track satellite names with AMSAT satellite names can

easily be done with the TLE Retriever by Dr. T.S. Kelso

or HalloKepler by Gerd Riesner, DB3DH. These tools are

free and allow automatic login on particular websites.

It's no longer necessary to start the browser to access

these websites.

4. Some CAT interfaces don't require an external power

source but are fed directly from the COM port. To power

such interfaces SatPC32 can now optionally switch the

RTS pin to +12 V (+5 V if you are using a USB-to

Serial adapter).

Vers. 12.3

1. The rotor steering functions of SatPC32, SatPC32ISS

and Wisat32 support now - optionally - the 'Flip'

mode. This mode avoids the 360-degrees turn the azimuth

rotor has to run if the satellite crosses the turning

point of the rotor during a pass. The program turns the

antenna horizontally 180 degrees off the current azimuth

angle and vertically to 180 degrees minus the true

elevation. So, the antenna points to the satellite but

must not cross the turning point of the azimuth rotor

during the pass.

2. The antenna can now automatically be turned to a selectable

parking position after a pass.

3. The sub tone functions have been expanded:

a. The program can set now different tone frequencies

for the same satellite. That is important with satellites

like SO-50. This satellite requires a 74.4 Hertz burst tone

to be opened and a 67.0 Hertz continous tone to be worked.

The tone frequencies can be switched via mouse click.

b. The program steers now also the PL-tone functions of the

Kenwood TS-2000 (Kenwood has fixed the PL tone bug).

4. The CAT steering functions support more radios. The

tool TxController has been expanded. The previous version

could steer only Yaesu radios. The new version supports

Icom and Kenwood radios, too, provided their CAT commands

for frequency and mode control are compatible with those

for the Icom or Kenwood satellite transceivers.

Therefore radios of different brands can be steered,

in example the Yaesu FT-817 for RX with the Icom MKIIG

for TX or the Icom RX IC-R20 with a Yaesu FT-857.

5. SatPC32, Wisat32, SatPC32ISS, WinListen and WinAos can now

automatically replace the satellite names used in Space-Track

Keplerian source files by AMSAT satellite names. The source

file remains unchanged.

Also, the program package includes the new tool "SatRename".

This program creates source files with AMSAT satellite names

from Space-Track TLE files.

6. The tool ServerLabjack,that comes with SatPC32, has been

improved (higher resolution, display of the actual antenna

positions).

7. Some bugs in Vers. 12.2 have been fixed.

Vers. 12.2

1. The program now supports rotor steering with the Labjack U12/

PiggyBack combination, which works via a USB port, and

with the W0LMD-Trackers (Mini, Junior, Senior) which allow rotor

control via a COM port.

2. The CAT steering functions have been expanded. SatPC32 now provides

CAT control of the Yaesu half-duplex transceivers FT-817,

FT-857 and FT-897. The program allows satellite operation with

a single one of these radios. With SSB-satellites the VFOs track

automatically when the user tunes (QSY) with the radio's VFO knob.

ATTENTION: Please read the hints regarding the necessary precautions

when using these 3 radios with a RX-preamplifier, before you

steer the radio with SatPC32. You will find these hints in the

'Readme(Yaesu).txt' file in the subfolder 'Yaesu'. The file can

be opened from the menu '?|Hints for..'.

3. SatPC32 allows full duplex operation with tracking VFOs if 2 of

these radios are used, i.e., the FT-817 for RX, the FT-857 for TX.

The SatPC32 program package includes the new tool "TxController".

This client program receives the uplink frequency and mode

calculated by SatPC32 thus it can steer a separate TX radio.

Therefore the RX radio can be steered by SatPC32 directly and

the TX radio can be steered by TxController.

4. New functions have been added to the CAT menu:

a. The interval can now be set separately for FM and SSB/CW

transponders. For SSB/CW operation an interval of about

100 Hz is a proper value, for FM the interval can be set to 500

Hz and more. (Meaning of "interval": The program will update the

radio's frequency after the Doppler shift change exceeds the

interval value). The program will automatically use the right

interval value when a satellite is selected.

b. The RX frequency can now be calibrated separately, without

changing the TX frequency. This function is particularly helpful

with the FT-817/857/897 transceivers.

The user cannot hear back his own downlink signal with these

radios. Therefore he cannot calibrate his Uplink frequency

as he can do with the full-duplex satellite radios.

With the new function, however, he can tune his RX for best audio

pitch of the received signal.

5. The options of the program have been expanded.

a. In the previous program versions the rotor and CAT

steering functions became disabled from the 2nd program instance

to avoid conflicts caused by multiple access to the same port.

The user can now optionally activate the steering functions

with the 2nd and further instances.

b. The user can select whether the "general" DDE interface

shall output data constantly or only when the satellite

is in range. This interface allows third-party-programs

to evaluate the rotor and CAT data calculated by SatPC32.

c. Further, the user can select whether the frequencies

output by the DDE interface shall include possible

converter/transverter offsets or not. If, i.e., a 13-cm

signal shall be received via a 13-cm / 2-m downconverter,

the radio must be tuned on 2 m. With the latter setting

the client can steer the radio directly. Otherwise the

client itself would have to handle the offsets.

d. Regarding the Yaesu FT-817/857/897 the user can select

whether SatPC32 shall steer uplink and downlink or the

downlink only. The latter option is helpful when separate

radios are used vor RX and TX. The program then doesn't need

to toggle the VFOs of the RX radio and the received signal

will remain un-disturbed.

6. The list programs WinListen and WinAOs will now also

automatically recognize the offset UTC - local time, thus

the offset must not be entered manually.

Version 12.0

1. The graphical functions have been expanded. The world maps can now be

displayed in 3D mode (the Earth appears as a globe) as an option

in addition to the present 2D world maps. All graphical functions

except Zoom2 are available with the 3D maps (display of multiple

satellites, Sun line, ground track, direction arrows, Observer2, etc.).

To get a uniform appearance with the 3D maps the 16-bit 2D maps

have been re-colored.

2. The functions of the "Options" menu have been improved. Changes

of the program window size and switching between UTC and local time

now take effect immediately and don't require a program re-start

(as they did before). A program re-start is now only required for

changes of settings that usually remain unchanged (radio settings,

selection of serial and parallel ports, etc.)

3. In previous versions the offset between UTC and the observer's local

time had to be entered manually. The entry had to be changed with the

beginning and the end of the Daylight Savings Time period.

The program now automatically determines the time zone offset from the

Windows local time zone setting. If necessary, manual time zone entry

is still possible using the SatSetup program.

4. New control buttons are added to allow instantaneous selection

of the time zone display (UTC or Local) and program window size.

5. The program uses a new date/time calculation routine that improves

reliability of the Preview function.

6. The programs support now rotor control via an USB port with the

Labjack U12 USB-Multi-IO device in combination with the PiggyBack

interface.

Note: The driver file ServerLabjack.Exe is experimental. Any necessary

updates will be posted on my website www.dk1tb.de.

Version 11.4

1. The programs now support the SatEl rotor interface.

2. The ground tracking functions have been improved. The satellite's

ground track can now be displayed either temporarily (for about

10 seconds) or constantly.

3. Bandswitching has been improved. When the user switches between

satellites with different uplink/downlink bands, for example between

AO-10 (uplink 70cm, downlink 2m) and FO-29 (uplink 2m, downlink 70cm)

a band change is required - except with the Yaesu FT-847. With all

other transceivers the band change had to be done manually at the

radio. With the Icom transceivers IC-820, IC-821 and IC-910H SatPC32

now automatically changes bands if necessary.

The CAT systems of the Kenwood TS-790 and the Yaesu FT-736R don't

allow band switching via the software.

4. The SatSetup auxiliary program has been improved. Western longitudes

no longer need to be converted to Eastern longitude values, but can

be entered with a minus sign.

5. The North American version version of SatPC32 now correctly supports

the subaudible tone function in the North American version of the Icom

IC-910H firmware.

Version 11.3

1. SatPC32 now supports the subaudio-tone-functions of the Icom IC-910H

and the Yaesu FT-847, FT-736R. The program can switch the tone

automatically on when the users selects a satellite that requires a

subaudio tone on the uplink signal (at present only SO-50).

With the Yaesu transceivers the program also can set the tone frequency

expected by the satellite.

The CAT systems of older radios don't include commands for the sub-tone-

functions.

2. The program now interfaces with Uni_Trac 2003. All hardware supported by

Uni_Trac - beyond the hardware which can be controlled already by SatPC32

directly - now can be used with SatPC32, too.

3. Also, a "general" DDE interface has been added to SatPC32 which outputs

the rotor positions, downlink and uplink frequencies and modes and the

MA value. The DDE string is updated every second, the format is exactly

the same as the Wisp32 DDE string.

Third party client programs can receive the SatPC32 results via this DDE

interface and utilize them for their own purposes, i.e. to steer a

particular interface.

The program package includes demo client programs (EXE-files and source

code in Visual Basic and Delphi) which demonstrate how to access the

interface.

4. In previous versions the bottom area of some windows was displayed

incorrectly under Windows XP when the Window style property was set to

"XP style". This problem has been fixed.

Version 11.2

The programs now support the FODTrack rotor interface.

Version 11.1

1. The rotor driver has been exchanged. Port access now is limited

to the few port addresses used by SatPC32.

2. New functions have been added to the CAT menu:

a. The frequency entries of SSB satellites in the Doppler.SQF file now

can easily be optimized for your rig. To do that you don't need to edit

the file manually. Using the right frequency entries is most important

to hear your own signal immediately back when you select the satellite.

b. Another new function will help you to find your dowlink signal

very easily and without tuning around. This function is particularly

helpful for AO-40 operation.

Version 11.0

1. New functions have been added:

a. The grid locator of the mouse pointer may be displayed When the mouse

pointer is moved across the world map . This function can be enabled

and disabled by left clicking the mouse while the mouse pointer is on

the map.

b. The "Observer 2" function allows the user to enter a grid locator and

then see that grid location marked on the world map.

Azimuth, elevation, range and squint data for that location is displayed

in a separate "Observer 2" window. This function may be enabled by

pressing the space bar or by clicking on the "Obs." menu.

2. The CAT functions for the FT-847 have been improved. The Sub VFO

knob now can be used (besides the mouse and +/- keys) to adjust the

TX frequency, i.e. to adjust the uplink frequency to "match" the

downlink frequency.

3. A set of 16-bit world maps has been added. The maps contain almost

as many colors as the the 24-bit maps, but are smaller and faster.

Procedure to install the 16-bit maps:

Go to Options menu.

Click "16-bit" button. A German WinZIP self-extractor Window will open.

If the preset target folder "C:\Program Files\SatPC32" is not your SatPC32

folder first click the "Durchsuchen" (search) button and search for your

SatPC32 main folder.

Click the "Extrahieren" (extract) button.

Click the "Schliessen" (close) button.

Re-start SatPC32 for the new maps to take effect.

4. The 'Options' menu has been expanded. The world map sets (8-, 16- or

24-bit) now can be selected in this menu

5. The SatPC32 package now contains a special version of SatPC32.Exe in

the SatPC32\ISS directory. It can be used (with most radios) for Ham

radio operation with the ISS. Note: does not work with the FT-847 due

to limitations in the FT-847 CAT commands.

Since the ISS downlink and uplink frequencies are in the same band,

the 'normal' program version can not be used for ISS contacts, because

it switches the radios into satellite mode where downlink and uplink

frequencies must be in different bands. Refer to the StPCISS.txt file

for a detailed description of how to configure the ISS tuning function.

6. Some bugs (regarding to WinListen and ServerSDX) have been fixed.

7. The ServerEgis.Exe file has been updated. Antenna positions now can be

entered with 2 decimal digits.

Version 10.0

1. The program now can be obtained also via Internet download. The user

downloads the demo version (with the only restriction, that he has to enter

the geogr. coordinates at any program start). After registration he gets a

password, that switches the program to full version.

The password is valid also for updates.

2. When the mousepointer is moved onto one of the controls R, C, etc. hints

are displayed that show the function of that control. When it is moved onto

one of the letters below the world map the satellite's name is displayed.

3. Frequencies and Doppler shifts are displayed now with the preview and MA

function (in previous versions only with the real time function).

4. The 'Options' menu has been expanded. The radio parameters (model name,

baudrate, etc.) now can be selected in the 'Options' menu. The user doesn't

need to edit the YaesuPar.SQF, IcomPar.SQF or KenwoodPar.SQF files.

5. A new menu item '?' has been added to SatPC32. From this menu the

Readme.txt, The mnual (HTML format), the FAQs file (also in HTML format),

and the hints for Yaesu, Icom and Kenwood users can be displayed.

Further, from this menu the most important auxiliary files, that can

be edited only manually (Doppler.SQF, Squint.SQF) can be opened. These files

now contain hints themthelves how to modify them. This will make

modifications easier.

6. in possible update the user specific settings (QTH, radio parameters etc.)

will not be overwritten. In previous versions they became overwritten when

the file in the update was newer than the user's one.

Version 9.0

1. The kernel driver (for rotor control) is now compatible with Windows XP.

2. The "Preview" function has been improved. You can now hold down the

"fast forward" or "fast reverse" key and see a smooth time animation.

The user can easily specify the speed of animation (time increment) and

starting time/date when entering "Preview" mode.

3. Time displays (current time, next AOS, next LOS) can now be set to UTC or

local time.

4. The main text display (AZ, EL, MA, Range, Squint, etc.) is now easier to read

when the selected satellite is above the horizon. The text is now black on a

white background instead of white on a gray background.

5. Some bugs have been fixed.

Version 8.0

1.Arrows, that show the direction of the satellite's track,are displayed in

the world map (optionally).

2. Due to the experiences with AO-40 the frequency correction functions have

been improved.

3.Some functions regarding to the FT-847 have been modified.

4.The accuracy of SatPC32, Wisat32 and WinListen has been improved. The

calculations of these programs are based on the SGP4/SDP4 model, the results

therefore are highly accurate.

Version 7.5a:

1. The programs now support CAT control of the Icom IC-910H.

Since the firmware of the IC-910H is not quite compatible with

the IC-820H/IC-821H firmware the Icom routines had to be

modified.

2. Operation with 23cm-moduls has been improved.

Version 7.5:

1. The program now supports the Kenwod TS-2000.

2. In Vfo mode all supported radios (except the FT-736R, see below) can be

tuned with the Vfo as well as via keyboard and mouse.

Tuning with the Vfo does not work, however, with the KCT Tuner, but only

if the radio is connected to a COM port.

The FT-736R can be tuned only via the PC, since it's Vfo can not be read.

3. If the downlink mode is changed with the radio buttons, the program

automatically sets the corresponding uplink mode.

4. In SSB mode the radio can be switched to CW with the new control "CW"

and vice versa.

5. The converter/transverter offsets are stored now in the the Doppler.SQF

frequency pair in the CAT menu.

6. A bug with converter/transverter operation (Icom only) has been fixed.
