Alan,
Are you suggesting that SATPC32 cannot be updated with the various 'objects' that keep popping up, For example, the Funcube web site currently says they believe that AO73 is actually object 2013-066AE. Can that object be entered and selected in SATPC? (I suspect that these minor diffs between what is labeled as AO73 vs. 2013-066AE don't really make any practical difference when using SatPC32 to work the bird)
Pls share your thoughts
73, Ted K7TRK

Les,
Remember that the Keps are provided from CelesTrak. SatPC32 does not control which source file contains a particular satellite. New satellites normally move over to the regular categories in about 30 days.
You can find a discussion of adding satellites to SatPC32 and NfW here:
