Hello Les,
with the settings that come with the SatPC32 12.8b setup file you can switch
on the 67.0 Hz and the 74.4 Hz sub tones
of the IC-910H. While tracking SO-50 click the SatPC32 "T" control (in the
uppler left part of the SatPC32 main window) to "T1". That will switch on
the 67.0 tone. Click "T2", that will switch on the 74.4 Hz tone. Clicking to
"T0" will switch off the tone.
Important: I suppose you have the American version of the IC-910H. So, make
sure that you have installed the English program version for AMERICAN
users!. The European English program version doesn't set the tone
frequencies of the American version of the IC-910H, because the tone
frequency setting commands are different.
The program stores the sub tone frequencies in "SubTone.SQF" in the SatPC32
data folder. The file contains already the necessary settings for SO-50.

Subject: [amsat-bb] SATPC32 & Icom IC-910H Setting PL Tone Question
Happened to be up very late, trying to finish some work. My computer
alerted me that SO-50 was rising, and even though it was 4AM, I thought
I'd take a chance that someone might be on the bird.
All efforts to raise the bird failed, even though it was a very high
elevation pass. I realized that the bird had "timed out" and needed to be
activated. Not something I was used to thinking about considering how busy
SO-50 usually is. I searched in vain to try to figure out how SATPC32 was
setting the 67.0 Hz PL tone. I figured I could modify that setting to make
it transmit 74.4 Hz instead. But no joy.
I know this can be set in the rig's menu, but I'd rather have a separate
setting in SATPC32 for those rare passes when SO-50 is silent. Can someone
walk me through how to edit the necessary file(s) and set this up? Thanks
in advance from a night owl!
