10.Run 'FCHid.exe' in the 'FCHID006 - Debug' folder after extracting 'FCHID006.zip'
   and confirm that update was completed.

   If it doesn't start, run the following procedure 12. & 13.
   SATCONTROL_FCD Ver 0.9.2 Update

   

   


12.Download 'Newer_ExtIO_FCD_G0MJW.dll' in 'ExtIO_FCD.dll G0MJW' folder, and remove
   'Newer_' part in the file name, and put it into your FCD, HDSDR folder etc.
   It is neccessary when you check in the box of 'connect FUNcube dongle' in
   'satcontrol_fcd.exe' and HDSDR operation.

13.Download OCX file, and extract mscomm32.ocx in it and put your FCD folder.

14.Enter the offset value in the input box of 'Settings - Frequency Offsets', namely
   "satcontrol_fcd.exe - FCD Control-G0MJW - Expert - Frequency Offsets - IF(kHz)".
   Then you can synchronize the value of 'Frequency(MHz)' and the value of
   'FCD returns Hz frequency' in 'FCD Control - G0MJW'.
   In case of my FCD, FO-29 -> +46.18kHz, CO-65 -> +46.37kHz, 145MHz -> +15kHz.

15.Connection Example:
   Antenna -> FUNcube Dongle (USB) -> PC (setting: Monaural mixer)
                                             -> HDSDR (input: FUNcube Dongle)
                                                      (output: Soundcard)

   Run HDSDR -> Set frequency in HDSDR -> Run satcontrol_fcd
    -> Check "connect FUNcube dongle" -> Expert -> Frequency Offsets -> HDSDR "Start"
