Hi Bjorn, When you enter a new line it appears at the bottom of the list. When the 'Save' button is clicked the list is sorted by satellite name, saved to disk and then reloaded into the program. At that point the list you see in the grid should be sorted by sat name as well as the file. I did experiment with having it sort the list right after entering the new line but found it a little confusing as the new line appeared to disappear. I also found that often I was entering more than one new entry for a satellite at the same time. It seemed a little easier if the new entries stayed together at the bottom of the list rather than "disappearing" one at a time. I am fairly sure this is how it works. If this is not the case or I did not answer your question let me know. 73 W9KE Tom Doyle On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 8:50 AM, Björn Pasteuning <bjornpd5dj(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Thomas. > > Works perfectly here.. > > Can you implement a insert(line) button? > I like to keep everything in alfabetically order. > > keep up the good work! > > 73 > Bjorn de PD5DJ > www.pd5dj.nl > > > Thomas Doyle schreef op 28-5-2014 16:44: > >> Hi, >> >> I wrote this little program to try and help out with the great Doppler.sqf >> files posted on the AMSAT-UK web site. >> >> http://amsat-uk.org/satellites/doppler-sqf-2/ >> >> In the remote possibility that it could be of interest or use to someone >> else here is the link. >> >> http://www.tomdoyle.org/DopplerSqfEditor >> >> 73 W9KE Tom Doyle >> >> > -- Sent from my computer. tom ...

BNC Elbow Adapters
by Paul Stoetzer 29 May '14

29 May '14

Good evening, I've been having a problem with my BNC elbow adapters that I use at a few points in my portable satellite station. After a short time in use, they start to loosen and the connection loosens when there's movement. For example, I use a BNC elbow adapter to route the coax on my Elk antenna. When I twist the antenna to match polarity while transmitting on FO-29, I get desense as the connection loosens. Does anyone know of a very high quality BNC elbow adapter that will hold up to the rigors of portable use? 73, Paul, N8HM

Doppler.sqf Editor for SatPC32 - update
by Thomas Doyle 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi, Thanks to Alan WA4SCA for doing exhaustive testing and letting me know the program had a very subtle and almost imperceptible problem on Windows 7 (it did not work at all). I believe the problem has been fixed - sorry about that. I also tested it on the only working XP computer I have - A MacBook Pro running XP on a Virtual Machine under MacParallels 9. It worked there so I am guessing it may work on an real XP computer with .Net 4.0 installed. http://www.tomdoyle.org/dopplerSqfEditor tnx & 73 W9KE Tom Doyle
