Folks,
As I've said before, we're absolutely committed to resolving all defects in the software and making it the best product available for satellite operators.
I just began testing our new beta (6.5.0.188) with our Rotor Control and Satellite Tracking applications. We have just made some changes to these apps and will continue until all reported issues are resolved. We believe that the majority of the 33 Rotor Control issues will be resolved by these changes... which also corrects a number of items in the Satellite Tracking app.
My test with a Portable Rotation AZ/EL controller (PR12SAT) and FT-991A worked as expected (with a few known issues we're working on).
The rotor correctly tracked the satellite and the rig's downlink was correctly controlled. There's still an issue I want resolved related to the Doppler frequency correction on the uplink.
I have also compared the path of several key satellites in Satellite Tracking against the AMSAT tracking website. I don't see any differences in tracking the satellite. (I have found that the term "tracking" can refer to updating the rig's frequency in our Rig Control or Satellite Tracking app, it can refer to the Rotor Control tracking a satellite pass, and it can refer to the software's ability to track the path of a satellite during its pass.)
I'm looking for feedback. I've heard of "tracking" problems... but I'm not seeing these problems. I'm happy to listen to and test any reports or explanations you have for this tracking problem.
