SkyCat v.1.6

[Alex VE3NEA]

I have released v.1.6 of SkyCat / skycatd.exe. This version includes several new .json files, so more radios are now supported. Also, IC-9700 is now used in the Satellite mode instead of the Dual-watch mode. The change is in the IC-9700.json file, the old file is still available under the name of IC-9700-DUAL.json.

The json files /  supported radios are listed here:

The download, including the json's, is here:

https://ve3nea.github.io/SkyCAT/index.html

As before, just unzip all files in a folder.

I have the same problem. on Win11.  Just the black screen flash.  Won't let me enter the SkyCAT command line.

Please instead of double-clicking on the skycatd.exe shortcut, start it from a command prompt, with all parameters. Then, if it fails, you will see the error message.

Just create a shortcut to the EXC place, the appropriate switches for rig, comport, and -VVV for logging, and you will get a window that stays open and shows you the status of every command sent and received.
