Hi Greg,
I think the biggest challenge is installing .Net framework 4
The reason is, I tried to install SDR# under wine and wasn't
able to get .Net working.
But maybe there are amateurs out there that found a way.
Try VirtualBox with a Windows version, that will be a lot
easier.

N6BIL developed a hardware widget (PIC and USB interface) for the Yaesu
FT-736R to work as a FT-847 (Hardware Emulator). That address some issues.

Hi all,
I can confirm that the translator of Chuck works fine ... as HRD does not
support the FT-736 this is an excellent work around.

Graham,
My best wishes to you and your team. It will be an exciting week to be
sure. Your comments were very nicely put.
I'd would also like to commend your team for its "openness" all these
years about the project's status. For the life of me I fail to
understand why so many Cubesat projects appear to be "cloaked in
secrecy" when you try to to get information about their status. I think
the teams would do well to get a "PR" person on board along with the
analog/digital techies. Your program should be held as the model for
them to follow.
I know our FOX team is following your lead and perhaps will do even better.
Best of success to your team...Bill - N6GHz

Dear Nitin,
Very many thanks for your kind words and thoughts on behalf of AMSAT-India.
We are very grateful.
We have tried quite hard to develop the project with a wish and intent to
make it as "open" as possible and to respect the great support that we have
had from many directions.

Thanks for all the responses on the FT-736 and the pointers to the pic
hardware emulator.
Just to be clear, does the N6BIL emulator allow the manual tuning of the
FT-736?
It would seem that the lack of the ability to tune is a significant problem
to making contacts.

Tom
I read up on that N6BIL emulator box, it appears its' main purpose is to
emulate an FT-847 for software that does not support the 736.
This won't solve your manual tuning issue.
A local buddy that uses a 736 does the manual tuning using the tuning
buttons in SATPC32. He is seriously considering using 2 radios for
transponder SAT's
The 736 for transmit and a another radio for receive.
