2 years ago SATMODE is now used on the IC-9700 and IC-910 Mike W9MDB

Standard split, achieved with "S 1 (main VFO)" is for single band split. Think working a DX station who is listening a few KHz off of their transmit frequency. Satellite mode is for the cross band split we use on satellites. Originally, Hamlib only supported satellite mode on radios like the IC-9700, which is why "S 1 (main VFO)" used to work. Now, "S 1 (main VFO)" will put the IC-9700 into standard split, which is causing GPredict to disconnect from the radio. Satellite mode (SATMODE as it is referred to in Hamlib) on the IC-9700 now has to be activated by using "U SATMODE 1"
While I know the change to Hamlib has broken GPredict compatibility for the IC-9700 (see #287,) I cannot be sure that it has been changed for every radio in Hamlib. To account for this, I have chosen to add a new radio type, Full-duplex SAT mode. Full-duplex SAT mode uses the new SATMODE Hamlib mode for split and has allowed for me to use my IC-9700 with GPredict again. The way the existing Full-Duplex radio type works has not been changed to ensure I have not broken compatibility with other radios.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
