How can I work my IC-9700 without SDR devices/software? My IC-9700 is connected to my windows 11 PC via Icom's RT-17. BTW, my rig is connected to M2 eggbeater antenna and doing a great job with LEOs.

Any help or guidance shall be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Yarub,

You can use SkyRoof with IC-9700 even if you do not have an SDR. In this case there will be no waterfall display and no software receiver, but you will still be able to make QSO via the satellites. Before you start using SkyRoof, you have to configure it properly. I recommend that you check the SkyRoof User's Guide and just follow the setup instructions. In particular, this section explains how to make SkyRoof control your IC-9700.
