IC9700 users of satpc32... when switching modes to digital USB-D / LSB-D (or turning on/off the CAT connection), I have to click between 3 to 8 times for the mode to assign correctly on the RX side. Does anyone else have this problem? It ONLY happens when switching to DIG mode

IC9700 users...I'm stuck. When turned on, I see COM6 and COM7 (in device manager) SATPC32 works great on COM7 (does not work on COM6) WSJT-X works great on COM7 (does not work on COM6) Installed fresh drivers and firmware to no avail. How can I run SATPC32 and WSJT-X together?

By the way, for anyone following this thread...the key to getting opposite com ports to work was switching the IC9700 to USB (B) instead of (A).

Heard #WC7V and @w0dhb on RS44 FT4 mode…! I’m one step closer to an actual QSO. WSJT-x software keeps losing rig control on the downlink when I turn the dial on the ic9700. Not sure how to fix that…

Does anyone know what object in GOSATWATCH app is the Ao-109 satellite? Evidently it has not been updated with the sat name.

I guess I am the only ham left who switches between straight key and paddle? My previous radios all had a single button (keyer on/off), but the Icom 9700 is 7 button presses. Response from Icom tech support is “it will get easier as you do it more often”. Gee thanks

I bought a picokeyer from hamgadgets so I can work around the ICOM issue of switching between paddle and straight key. But I still had to modify the picokeyer so I could switch quickly. No switching of cables...just press a button (or 2)
