Well there is updating the Keps (not sure if you mean that). There is also updating your personal uplink/downlink correction factors. The latter is why SQF files are personal. I use two different rigs (and IC-9100 at home and a IC-910H on the road), the SQF files are different.

Ok, thanks....then what exactly does the 'update' button in SatPC32 accomplish

Hi Ted,
As nice as it would seem, it really isn't possible to automatically update the DOPPLER.SQF file. The most important reason is that each station has a different transmit and receive offset due to different RX and TX chain frequency calibration, drift, etc. It would be possible to have a baseline SQF file (without compensation) and a few hams do publish that.
You can manually update the Kep files yourself.

Good stuff, Joanne...thanks
One thing, though, that I have never understood, however: Does SatPC32 properly update keps and the sqf data when the 'update' option is used in the program? Or do we need to keep updating manually. I can understand
with
a new sat, manually trying to find the right data, but after the sats are rolling along for a few weeks the normal sites that identify keps usually have that data current.
Thanks for any input

Perhaps these messages from the amsat-bb from a few weeks ago might offer a starting point?

I’m not sure if you received a private response but I have a similar
issue.
I tried to use SatPC32 the other day and found many of the satellite frequencies were not correct. I’m going to have manually edit a bunch
of
them unless I can find someone with a good set of files.
