[Supplement2] SDR# PPM settings
How to set Shift Value related to My_FCD, please see My_HP fcd1
Orbitron + DDE + SDR#(Plugin) System:
Orbitron -> Select Satellite -> Run DDE Driver -> SDR# Center -> SDR# Play
-> SDR# Shift -> Satellite Tracker(Plugin) -> Enable, Orbitron, Connect
Procedure:
(1) Confirm the satellite frequency. satslist.htm
(2) Input this frequency into my sdrtofcd.xls or sdrtocal.xls
sdrtofcd.xls, sdrtocal.xls
(3) Shift value in sdrtofcd.xls is the correction value of the
individual differneces of my FCD.
(4) Run Orbitron -> Select Satellite -> Click Rotor/Radio tab.
-> Click on the square button on the right side of Driver box.
-> DDE Client will start automatically.
(5) Run SDR#
-> Input the center value of sdrtofcd.xls to SDR# Center box.
(6) Play SDR#
-> Input the Shift value of sdrtofcd.xls to SDR# Shift box.
(7) SDR#Satellite Tracker(Plugin) -> Click Enable.
-> Select Orbitron in Tracking Software box -> Click Connect.
(8) There is no need to imput Shift value if you imput PPM value
in "SDR # - Configure - Frequency correction (ppm)". -> fcd2
