Agreed.  I use SatPC32 with a 910H on the linear sats and it works great. 
As Elan said, you must do a little tweaking due to variations between 
different radios and satellite oscillator aging, but once you've saved the 
correction for a given bird, you'll be spot on after that.

SatPC32 works great on the linear birds. Takes a little tuning to get on the 
right freq, but works nicely after setup.

My, my at the assumption.  I've been a customer of SatPC32 for more than six
years.  I've been on sabbatical.  :)  Trying to get the cobwebs cleaned out.
