Re: [Gpredict-discussion] Icom IC-9100 support?

[Alexandru C. <oz...@gm...>]

Hi Eric,

I don't have experience with the IC-9100 and don't know what the
native satellite mode means. However, if it is some auto-tracking mode
intended for aiding the operator during satellite operations, then it
should probably be disabled. Gpredict must have full control over both
VFOs without any intervention from the RIG itself.

I'm not sure what the current status of full duplex support is. There
have been conflicting reports about how good/bad gpredict works with
full duplex radios. It's on my list to test and fix this in the near
future as I have occasional access to an IC-910.
