Specifications

Configuration
The Satellite interface is launched from the Tools/Satellite sub menu. A good knowledge
of the various way to establish satellite communications is required to understand all the
elements of the interface.
The sensitive image (below) illustrates the use of each element.

Referential/Conventions
The logic of the interface requires that the frequencies which are displayed by the interface
are the working frequencies of the Satellite (except during the adjustments) and not those of
the ground station which will be Doppler corrected; indeed, it is much easier to work on the
frequencies of the Satellite which are fixed. For each one of these frequencies, the interface
also displays the Doppler compensation to be applied. These corrections are applied according
to the Step (Hz) defined in the interface.
Rotator control
The TRX-Manager’s Setup must be filled in with the maximum practicable Elevation (if
supported) and the incremental Step (°).
Warning
If your rotator is controlled through a DDE Interface (ARSWIN…), the DDE Link with the satellite
software may freeze for some seconds during rotator control…
