Re: [amsat-bb] TS-2K & PCSAT32?

["hasan schiers" <schiers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to WA4EWV, I may have found the problem. I was using version 12.2 and 
moved up to 12.5...and found that my USB > Serial adapter was acting up. 
Rebooted and reinserted the adapter and things started working as I had 
expected.

I can now qsy with the vfo and have the doppler applied to that freq.

It appears that what was happening before was one-way communication. I could 
send commands to the radio, but the program was NOT reading the freq coming 
back the radio. That is why calling CQ and having a qso through the entire 
pass worked...with that I didn't need any feedback from the radio to the 
program. once I touched the vfo, however, it became VERY important that the 
freq get fed back to the program and that wasn't happening.

On to a pass, very low, one minute away. Let's hope it keeps working!

73,
