Go figure. I just brought SatPC32 back up this morning and now it is working fine. I ran just its keps, then added it with the other satellites and it is still working. In any case, it appears to be working fine now. Not going to mess with it unless it goes away. Right now, I have the fake Geos sitting at about 3.5 degrees. I figure if I do put up my arrays, they'll stay low for local use.
Thanks again Alan for your help and the others that chimed in.

Hi Reid,
I used the original TestSat2 Keps I sent, and your DOPPLER.SQF changed to TestSat2, and it worked as desired. One thing to check is the object number. I used a "standard made up" number, and if SatPC32 sees two objects with the same number, it can cause problems. Check in your Keps you don't have another 99999.
