Hi Robert,
You can use the FUNcube dashboard, located at
http://funcube.org.uk/working-documents/funcube-telemetry-dashboard/together
with your favorite satellite tracking application for controlling
rotators (if any).
You do not need any other application to control the dongle but the
dashboard, but may find it useful to see a waterfall plot with for instance
SDR# (http://sdrsharp.com/)
The dashboard does not take exclusive control over the dongle, so you may
use other applications to tune it. This is not necessary however.

Cliff,
Having suffered from this malady for many years, I simple came to the
conclusion that no matter how big your beam is, you can never have a beam
too big. I believe this view is held by many, including the ARRL, who
publish a Handbook every year with many articles devoted to encouraging you
to employ an ever-bigger beam. These article are replete with pictures, of
course, leading to an even more widespread condition: beam envy.

A bigger beam is useful when boasting to your friends, but when it comes
to racking up contacts or pulling a rare one, it isn't the size that
counts. What really matters is how skilled you are at USING your beam,
and your understanding of the needs of the DX.

Hi Robert,
(assuming you mean the SDR software, not the Funcube telemetry decoding SW)
I have played around a few years with HD-SDR, sdr-radio.com, etc. running on
a Win XP machine with
2.5GB memory. Not too long ago I was fed up with their relative large CPU
load so I tried SDRSharp.
Light-weight CPU load wise, but has all I need. Plug & play for the FCD. And
I purchased SatPC32,
which plugs into SDRSharp, also no large CPU load. That's my SDR set-up
these days.
Next step to take is to connect SatPC32 to my TS2000 as well, I didn't have
time to figure that out
yet. For the TS2000 I still use HRD, but it takes minutes for the PC to
start up the Satellite
tracker of HRD. Once it runs, it's all fine, although I always feight with
keppler sets in HRD.
Same btw with SatPC32, also there I still struggle how to create a single
set of satellites that are
spread over multiple URL's (eg MCubed-2 is not in the standard kepler
overviews but at a different
location).
ps: I am (still) about to purchase a new PC, and still doubting which O/S to
go for (taking all the
various programs discussed above into account on one hand and the upcoming
end of selling of Windows
7 on the other hand).
Henk, PA3GUO

Message-ID: <002701cf2a6f$7c3ea350$74bbe9f0$@xxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Is someone using the HRD Satellite tracking program with the IC-9100 for
Doppler correction?
I am evaluating this software and I don't manage to make it change the
uplink frequency in the rig following Doppler changes. It updates the
downlink frequency, but no the uplink.
Is it a bug in the software or am I doing something wrong?
SATPC32 does the job more or less, but I also have some issues with it so I
am looking for an alternative.
Thanks.
