Hi Pat:
I use SatTrack+ with my old iPaq Pocket PC. I don't know if the program will work on yours but there is also a version for Palm... Since it is trial-ware, I'd say try it.
I'm very satisfied with the way it works. I usually check the pass trajectory before I go out (I'm working portable) as I don't want to have to carry more stuff than really needed.
It would be nice if the program alerted you to the time of the pass, but unfortunately, it does not do that. I program my cell phone's scheduler for that and that works best as the cell phone is with me all the time.

Greetings from Patrick, N2OEQ
I need advice on tracking satellites with a handheld PC ( not pocket PC )
I recently recieved a NEC mobilepro 750c HPC with a MIPS R4000 processor. I downloaded a DOS emulation program and tried running the DOS STSPLUS program. The map took 25 minutes to draw so this is impractical.
Any ideas or experience would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, pat
