Selecting Satellite Frequencies & Calibration

SatPC32 CAT Window

The CAT Tuning window within SatPC32 which you access via the "CAT" option on the toolbar allows you to fine tune and select frequency pairs, you'll need to use this area to correctly adjust the uplink and downlink frequencies to match any offsets in your radio.

You can also select your frequency's options that you define within the doppler.sqf file for example ISS with its Voice, APRS and School contacts, you can access these by the CAT option in the toolbar, just click on the frequency selection you would like to use.
