I'm now back\nup and running with the CAT interface from SATPC32 to my ICOM 910H.\n\n In case anyone is wondering; I am pretty certain that what happened is that\nCelestrak altered the format of their kep files (maybe a couple of months ago, or\nmore), and in particular, changed the format of the sats name. I found I had to\nchange \"FO-29\" to \"JAS-2 (FO-29)\" in the Doppler.sql file.\n\n The moral of this story is if your CAT interface stops working, check that you\ndoppler.sql file has excatly the same sat name as in the keps file. (I think what\nconfused me, and thats getting easier and easier as the years go by, is that \"FO-29\"\nappeared in the keps file in brackets.) !!\n\n Thanks again to all who came to my aid!\n\n73 Jim G3WGM\n\n\n\n> -----Original Message-----\n> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On\n> Behalf Of Jim Heck\n> Sent: 04 August 2009 07:12\n> To: Jean-François Ménard; [email protected]\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: SAT PC H e e e lp!\n>\n>\n> Hi Jean-François\n>\n> Thanks for your suggestions.
