Hello, I am only able to work my station remotely and I had several issues with other software packages for the ICOM 9700. Even these packages are also very good and have a lot of features which I use often. But my main goal to work satellites remotely is not working in a way I need it. So I came somehow in contact with Steve. At this point his software was quite new and to work remotely you still had to use other tools to get the audio through. Today all this is also history, with this software you need nothing else. It works for me perfectly, specially in combination with my S.A.T. box from CSN! So I start remotely my 9700 and the S.A.T. box, start the software at my remote location and I am ready to go!
This is really a slim and clean peace of software to run sats with the ICOM 9700!

Hi - I was looking for some software to control my IC-9700 for satellite work and came across this software. It looks fantastic and does far more than just control the IC-9700 for sats. Great integration with the IC-9700 and a very nice user interface. So far I've just scrtched the surface in regard to what it can do. I had a few queries initially and the developer came right back to me on Discord with helpful hints. 73 Steve.
