And, if you took my whole snipet, you will see that I gave him the exact information he needed to fix his NOVA problem. I merely suggested he purchase something from AMSAT to support satellite activity. Just using free programs will not add to the experimental adventure of this end of the hobby. Yes, I have been the recipient of many requests for assistance to get SATPC32 functioning, however, it is never the programs fault-it is 99% of the time - the users inability to get their computer operating- Sounds like a Bill Gates problem to me. Anyway, please enjoy the fruits of many hours of people that volunteer behind the scenes to get satellites in orbit and functioning. Let us see to it that our toys in space are funded. Don't think Congress is going to give the HAMS a few million to fool around with. Dee, NB2F

If you're going to give advice and there is a reasonable choice then give that person the choice, not dictate yours. I personally don't like SATPC32 and prefer Instanttrack. Judging by the number of queries we get here from people who can't get
SATPC32 to work, it's probably not the best choice for a beginner.

You should switch to Orbitron. It's free and you don't have to pay for it. http://www.stoff.pl/

You should switch to SATPC32 available at the AMSAT website for purchase since this is the program AMSAT supports..
