Ted,
The nasabare is only the TLE which is what's used to track the satellite. The doppler.sqf is the actual frequency and mode info for each satellite that only needs to be added to when a new satellite is added. I'm not sure where HRD gets the frequency and tone info when a new satellite is launched if you don't manually put it in. HRD works fine I guess for FM but totally blows it on the SSB birds unless they really have fixed things.

Thanks for the answer to Paul, Dave...
Brings up a question that has always puzzled me about Sat32PC...does one need to be constantly updating the sqf file? I would think that 'updating' function would bring in all that info, from, i.e.., the nasabare update. (This is what HRD does)...(same question for the 'tone' file) It seems SATPC needs constant massaging, which is one reason I have never been able to find it functional..
Anyway, say hi to the horses !!

Paul,
You need to make entries in the doppler.sqf file with the frequency info. Here's a write up that should help you out.
amsat-uk.org/2013/11/23/adding-new-satellites-to-satpc32/amp/
Also there's a Doppler.sqf line generator that's on the AMSAT website where you plug in frequencies and modes and it will generate the proper info.

Apologies for what could be an easy question but I am a bit new to this. Just getting the station set up at the moment.
I have installed SAT32PC and have it tracking a number of the amateur satellites. I have noticed a few sats including PO101, CAS4A and 4B
don’t
have any frequency info shown in the window above the map.
Not sure how to resolve this so any help appreciated.
Thanks
