I wrote this document with the help of Pete (KD9VV). It explains some of the hurdles we muddled our way through in making the Icom IC-9700 work with the SatPC32 satellite tracking program.
The information is not only from out first-hand experience, but from a number of other sources including the user manuals for the IC-9700 and SatPC32 as well as posts on the IC-9700 user group (https://groups.io/g/ic-9700/topics).
Some of the information included also applies to using SatPC32 in general regardless of the radio being used; for example, I explain how to set up the DxLabs suite of programs (Commander, DxKeeper and DxView) to enable semi-automatic logging with SatPC32.
Update 03/24/2021 - Release 1.1 adds a picture of what the radio should look like when properly set up for the CAS-4A satellite.
Update 04/11/2021 - Release 1.2 adds some information regarding the need to keep one's computer clock accurate and the need to keep the Keplerian data up-to-date.
Update 05/30/2021 - Release 1.3 added some further explanation about what happens if the "NOR/REV" settings on the radio do not match the setting in the Doppler.sqf file for a particular satellite.
