Specifications

DDE Link with the Satellite program
The Satellite program must be launched and properly configured:
NOVA
Please choose DDE Interface only as rotator interface, or any other interface if you are
controlling your rotator from NOVA. The DDE Link is then activated.
WINTRAK PRO
Please check Output DDE Data Always under Options/Program ; then select any
Single-mode output. The DDE Link is then activated.
SATSCAPE
Open the Control/Radio… dialog and check Enable DDE Link (Satscape V1.87 is required;
if you use a previous version please set the uplink frequency equal to 1000 MHz whatever
the frequency you are using). The DDE Link is then activated.
SATEL939
Open the DDE Link by activating the Remote control aerials option and confirm the use of
TRX-Manager.
WXtrack
Open the DDE Link by checking CX6DD WISPDDE Client under the Tracker/Options menu,
Tracker model list. When a satellite crosses from below horizon to above the horizon (AOS)
the azimuth, elevation and range-rate will be updated automatically, at the rate set by the
Options/Update rate menu. If for some reason, AOS is not available, tracking may be engaged
from the Tracker/Test dialog.
SAT_Explorer
No setting is required. Please note SAT_Explorer only displays AL and EZ for visible satellites.
One the satellite software is properly configured, and only at this moment, you select it from
the Program list box. The name of the satellite being tracked will be displayed and a satellite
icon then moves over the window as the data are received.
Important notes

If the satellite icon remains motionless, the DDE link is probably broken. Please click R (Resume
) to reactivate

Under Wintrak, this last action is required when you change the “output” or the satellite.

The simultaneous use of TRX-Manager and a satellite program requires a powerful system.
Please avoid using other programs in background. If possible, increase the update interval to 1
second or more if you encounter instabilities.

The CW interface of TRX-Manager (Kenwood's Internal interface excepted) does not work
