Thank you for the reply. Well, I did pick the same as the 910H, I would have expected that a 9700 would be able to do the same thing as a 910H but I guess not ! In this mode, both up/downlink are being corrected but the VFOs are Always swaping from main to sub and the SPLIT function turn on. [cid:image002.png@01D58092.21A798F0] And then, as per your suggestion, I did try this mode : [cid:image005.png@01D58092.21A798F0] But in this last one, the doppler correction is only applied to the VFO that is currently in use and does not detect that I am transmitting or not. It transmit on the downlink frequency. Speaking of not detecting, I also noticed that the IC9700 does not seem to receive transponder modes (FM, SSB, Tones) and is Always staying in the last mode it was set in before the launch of gpredict. It also seem that when I transmit, gpredict does not send doppler correction even though it is possible to send frequency input while tranmitting in rigctl.exe. So I guess gpredict is not compatible with the IC9700 then. I thought the issue was lying in hamlib. I’ll find another solution for doppler correction unless you have another suggestion ! Thank you for your time.

I think the problem has to do with the way gpredict uses rigctld when in duplex mode. It should be using VFO mode and doesn't. As a result, it has to swap VFOs to do frequency changes. Simplex mode might work better. de Mike W9MDB On Friday, October 11, 2019, 08:21:35 PM CDT, Claude . <va...@ou...> wrote: Hello again, I am sorry, here is a precision that I realize I did not type correctly in my first post. The radio does not switch from VFO A/B but rather both VFOs on the radios switch from Main to Sub. What is displayed on the top VFO is swap below, and what was displayed on the Bottom VFO is swap up, it seems it does this really fast 3 times every second that gpredict send the frequency updates. Also did try again, I confirm that the SPLIT function Always turn on when I start the doppler tracking which makes things even less workable ! Just some précisions on my initial post.

And redirect the output to a file and send to me. Add -Z -vvvvv >log.txt 2>&1 That will give timing info and lots of verbose information we can see what's going on. de Mike W9MDB On Friday, October 11, 2019, 04:54:08 AM CDT, Claude . <va...@ou...> wrote: Hello, I am testing hamlib hamlib-w64-4.0 with my IC9700 and gpredict satellite tracking software. Gpredict is able to communicate all right with rigctld with the switch -m 381. The issue I am getting is that when gpredict send doppler correction to the radio, both VFOs constantly swap at each frequency update. In other words, I have gpredict cycle at 1000ms so each second the radio receive frequency updates on both VFO ok but the radio constantly switches both VFOs A/B to B/A then back to A/B. This makes the uplink (the top frequency on the display which is VFO A) quicly go on the sub VFO on the Bottom of the screen and sames goes with the Bottom VFO, it get on the main VFO and then back to normal until the next cycle of frequency update of gpredict. Also the SPLIT function Always turn on. This also happens with the IC910 switch when set to the IC9700 CIV adress. Since I had no stable release to try my 9700, I did try the 910 which seems to share pretty much the same CIV protocol but it does the same thing, both VFOs swap constantly and make the SPLIT function turn on. So clearly, there is Something not working properly with the IC9700 switch -m 381. The command sent should be V, Main (the uplink frequency) then send F to set the uplink frequency. Then the same thing should be done with V, Sub, (the downlink frequency) then send F to set the downlink frequency. Now it is doing a bunch of weird things with the VFO swaping and SPLIT function. Can I send you other information to help out ?
