Send me the RS-232 command needed to set the frequency and I will add it
to APRStk.  Good idea.  thanks

APRStk can auto track-tune all FM satellites(voiec and packet) using the
Kenwood D7 and D700 and can also directly drive any 24 volt AC TV rotator
with only a simple 2 transistor and two opto-isolator interface on the
printer port of any old DOS PC.

It usually does not run under Windows because Bill Gates and company does
not like to let you access the printer port directly..  And no, this will
not point the TV rotator accurately enough for AO-40, but it is perfect
for a small yagi for all the LEO birds.  Since the ICR-1000 is a simple
RS-232 interface, then it would be nice for me to add it..

thanks
