Great video, Bob. Thanks! I do basically the same thing as I’ve had problems with HDR rig control. I have less than a 360 degree antenna field of view from my QTH and appreciate the compass graphic. You can choose several display modes for the upcoming passes and I run the compass views instead of the graphs. Once you’ve done it a few times it’s easy to get the elevation off the compass view and in just a few seconds I can scan multiple passes, find ones that I can “see” and are above in my case 25 degrees.

Great system overview - looks like I will replicate your system as I think it's very informative especially using those Apps and graphics etc. Oh by the way I just got a 9700! 👍73 de GI8WFA.
Great video. I see in the 9700 the manual says to program negative tracking for the Japanese Satellite Fuli so-29 I think it is, I looked up your video here after trying to program the ISS into my 9700 because I can't see if its negative or positive tracking. I really have only tried to start into this type of HAM programming today and only ever (for over 20 years) been HF orientated. Now in the 9700 Manual the example given has the Japanese Satellite with negative tracking to program into the 9700, but, I can't see or really even understand what tracking I need to program into the 9700 for the ISS. I was kind of hoping your video might explain something I'm guessing a lot of people already know quite well, but I really don't so I'm asking. Can you please explain this negative and positive tracking thing the 9700 has and why I need to consider it please ?????
Helpful video - I just decided to try working sats and have a 9700 on the way- never done it before. If you have thoughts on antennas and antenna tracking would be interested to see a video. I like the intro on the video!
Interesting / valuable information on the CAT window for finding your voice. Have you use HRD application fully implemented with your 9700? Now in regards to whistling? You actually whistle to ensure you are hitting the satellite? I do wait until the elevation is at 15 minimum and I make sure to hear my own voice then. Please avoid whistling as you can interrupt a qso in progress. Rafael / NN3RP

Glad to help!
Thanks for covering how to fine tune SatPC32 during a pass. I had been using the RIT on the 9700.

Thank you for your instructional videos

Excellent site, more or less the same setup as me, but I can't get JZG to connect to HRD, works perfect in SATPC32. I've subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Great help! I just got my 9700 and I saved this.
Glad it helped!

Great video as I'm just starting. I can't seem to hear myself. So how do you tune to find yourself. I have your same set up.thanks

Thanks for the video. What sort of equipment do you use to keep your antenna pointed at the satellite?
You don't need to manually put the 9700 into satellite mode because SatPC32 will do it.
Grab a docking station for the laptop and use a second monitor ;) I use sdr console for graphics
Whose pointing the antennas?
That would be me and my Yeasu G-5400B rotator

Ahhhh,
A lot going on simultaneously..
