Hello Michael, I will send you a Keps file "amateur.txt" with the data for Delfi C3 from their website with a separate mail.
When you add the Delfi-C3 Keps from their website to a file like amateur.txt make sure that the 3 Delfi-C3 lines have the exact format as the other data sets of amateur.txt. The data set on the Delfi website is in Norad format. The line ending chars of these files are different from those of the Celestrak files (i.e. amateur.txt). You will see that when you load both files into Word and let Word dipsplay ALL CHARS.
Use Notepad to paste the Delfi C3 data into amateur.txt and then make sure that the Delfi-C3 data set looks exactly equal with the other data sets. The satellite name must begin over the "1" of the first data line. The data lines must have the same length as with the other data sets. 73s, Erich, DK1TB

I'm about to pull my hair out! I've tried unsuccessfully for the last hour to put keps for Delfi into SatPC32. I tried a couple of methods posted here on the BBS and nothing seems to work for me. I'm using the keps on the Delfi C3 website. I cut and pasted them into a text file and put it in the Kepler folder of the program. I also just tried adding them to one of the existing txt files in the Kepler folder. Unfortunately I still cannot get anything to come up when using the program. Can someone explain to me what I might be doing wrong? Step by step would be best because right now I'm extremely frustrated. Tnx and 73, Michael W4HIJ _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
