The next AMSAT-NA TLEs for 6-22-2017 (tomorrow) will use CAS-4A (NORAD CAT ID 42761) and CAS-4B (NORAD CAT ID 42759). I suggest using CAS-4A and CAS-4B.
There is also some confusion with the naming used by SpaceTrack, from which AMSAT's KEP data is obtained. Based on doppler corrected passes, Nico Janssen, PA0DLO has confirmed that object CAS-4A is in fact NORAD CAT ID 42761 and CAS-4B is NORAD CAT ID 42759. SpaceTrack is not currently correct.

In updating SatPC32 which name should I use ZHUHAI-1 01 (CAS-4A) or just CAS-4A? I noticed in the Keps file the full long name is given. So the question is what goes in the AmsatNames.text file.
