Hi Randy
I’m using the new IC-9700 for the QO-100 Satellite operation with the transverter from PE1CMO.
I would like to use the SDRPlay RSP2Pro as a panadapter for the IC-9700. Because if I use the SAT Mode the scope in the small screen is just to small. So I’m using SDR Uno SDR Software to have a big scope on the PC screen.
But I’m not able to synchronize the Freq. of the IC-9700 with the software SDR Uno. The IC-9700 is connected to the PC (COM 5) with a USB cable and I’m using the default CI-V settings.
I also tried it with omnirig, but no success.
Do you have an idea?
