PC control of HT or mobile rig?
|
Is there any way to connect something like SatPC32 to the Kenwood TH-D74 to automatically adjust frequencies for Doppler shift?
If not, are there any HTs or Mobiles that can do this? Or do you have to lug a base station around to get this capability?

With an HT, many are successful by just “accommodating “ for Doppler with a step above/below the 440-band frequencies. None required, really, on the 2m side.
SO ... either VFO mode for 440 - or use three memories (center, plus, and minus).

At this point, SatPC32 only supports certain radios, primarily the bigger fixed units that allow for computer control via CAT/CI-V commands. I am not aware of any HTs that could do that and even then, it would require addition to the supposed radios. However, if you go up a notch from a HT to a FT-817, it works nicely. 73, Stefan VE4SW

I too have the Kenwood TH D-72A and love it. It is a breeze to set up with RT Systems and a breeze to use. I should be able to send you the RT Systems file and all you have to do is change the call in the program.

Hi Brad, Not sure if you sent me the file, but try again. It may only for a PC system, but I think I may have and old PC that might be able to open it. Jerry...W8RQM

Hi Jerry:
Here are the two files that you need again. I do have a PC. See attached.

The files that I sent are for setting up a Kenwood TH-D72A with RT Systems software for satellites.
