Rich,
A few other bits of information which will help.
Are you using the AmsatNames.txt file, and if so, what is the AO-73 entry?
We tied that today and that had other undesirable effects like wrong frequency ranges for the seleected sats and wrong modes.
What is the source of the AO-73 Keps as shown in the Satellite Tab?
On my list of Keps it is the second one. The computer is at school and not here.
Have you compared SatPC32 with another tracking program or the AMSAT online tracker for AO-73?
A cell phone amp confirmed that ISS, FO29, AO 7, and SO 50 were correct. The amp showed AO 73 on my screen was wrong and it was wrong!
73s,
Alan WA4SCA
