Work the Ham Satellites SSB Portable with just A Yaesu FT817ND, a "ELK" antenna, and a Laptop

On the Laptop I use a program called SatPC32 to control may radio for Doppler.
You can down load a trial version of SatPC32 from

The "ELK" log periodic antennas are available from

  • Hi Kev.

    The short answer is that I use "SatPC32" to control the radio for Doppler shift.

    Half duplex so it is not the most ideal situation but the program seems to work well enough to make up for this.

    I am going to make a second video demonstrating the radio and what is happening when using the computer control.

  • So who is responding back to you whence you call the satellite? Is it just an automated system?

  • Good video. Can you tell me how you tracked the doppler shift without hearing your voice on the downlink.
