Specifications
Satellite interface - overview
TRX-manager makes satellite communications easier by automating Doppler compensation
and cross-band communications. The program has been optimised for some SAT Transceivers
but also works with two standard transceivers (one for receive, the other for transmit). It is
even possible to control both VFOs of the same transceiver (however with some
drawbacks…).
All types of satellites and some unique features are supported and even provides interactivity
with the manual control of the transceiver!
Overview
Intuitive interface
Support of satellites with fixed frequencies
Support of linear transponder satellites
RX and/or TX Doppler compensation
Rotator control(azimuth and elevation for some rotators)
Reverse mode, Trace mode, Trace + Split (RX and TX in the same band)
Automatic tracking of the transponder satellites even during a manual QSY
Optimisation of the use with some SAT transceivers or two standard transceivers
Possible use with an unique transceiver in Split mode
Support for transverter (up/down converter)
Memory channels
Determination of the Doppler effect
TRX-manager does not implement the calculations of satellite data ; it uses a DDE Link with
compatible satellite software. Currently the following programs are supported:
NOVA http://www.nlsa.com/
WINTRAK PRO http://home.hiwaay.net/~wintrak
SATSCAPE http://www.satscape.co.uk
SATEL939 http://perso.wanadoo.fr/po.f9nb/PAGEF9NB.htm
WXTRACK http://www.satsignal.net
SAT_EXPLORER http://www.f6dqm.fr
Consequently, you have to install one of these programs and know their use to establish
satellite communications with the assistance of TRX-Manager.
