Anyone knows if the Gpredict send the TONE that the transmitter has to enable to operate in satellite transponder??? i’m don’t see in the radio that enables the T in IC9100 or IC7100, so i cant open the satellite in FM or SSB.
Thanks
I just set the tone on my IC-9100 manually 67Hz usually.
Gpredict and IC-9100 have some issues but it does control my VFOs. I receive on another antenna with LNA and SDRPlay/SDRuno.

Very Cool Software!
I would like to second this request, but in a more general way. In addition to needing to set the CTCSS Tone, My FT-736r requires a few “gyrations” to switch between mode U/V and mode V/U. One fairly quick way to solve a lot of these problems without a whole lot of coding within Gpredict would be to provide a provision to run a user script before and after each satellite pass.
This would solve a lot of the more specific user requests.
Thoughts?

Running Gpredict on a Raspberry PI
In pull request #192, I’ve added the ability to:
- Send arbitrary rigctrl commands to the radio on AOS/LOS. E.g. set_powerstat 0/1 to turn on/off the radio.
- Send arbitrary rigctrl commands when a specific transponder is selected. E.g. set_mode WFM, 40000;set_ant 0 to set the radio mode and antenna. The command can be set per satellite transponder, in the .trsp files. (This can be added to the GUI later on)
- Start an application / execute a shell command on AOS/LOS. To allow a user to start a decoder or control some other h/w, etc.
- Play an audio file (E.g. .wav) on AOS/LOS - so you can have an audible warning that a satellite pass is about to start.

No need to add that in the GUI, this should be added in SatNOGS-DB.

It might be useful to have the mode and bandwidth in the DB, but there still may need to be user-specific commands as well (E.g. antenna selection).
Yes, but that is not a satellite or transmitter specific setting. Sequences to control a transmitter onboard a satellite are.
