Ted,
Have the above answered your questions? Seems to me two different issues have been mixed here as the Keps and Doppler.sqf are two different items and updating one does not up date the other
1. The Keps can be updated from a number of sources to be found on the drop down under the <Satellites> tab 2. Doppler.SQF is manually updated by you when a new satellite is added to the family using Notepad or some kind of text editor. Be sure to follow the rules embedded in Doppler.SQF when messing with the file. You can save a copy that has not been modified the the Uplink calibration process as Doppler.REF or some such thing. And, yes, each radio has slightly different calibration offsets in Doppler.SQF. That is what I use the 4 different configuration options for <Setup><Configurations>. I use one config for a pair of FT-817's another for an IC-910H and a third for Flex 6600. 3. Don't forget if you are adding a new FM satellite to Doppler.SQF you also need to go into Subtones.SQF and add the new satellite to that list as well so the T0 > T1 >T2 toggle works correctly. Again follow the embedded instructions carefully. This is another file that can be manipulated with a text editor like Notepad.
Hope this helps,
John

Hi Ted,
As nice as it would seem, it really isn't possible to automatically update the DOPPLER.SQF file. The most important reason is that each station has a different transmit and receive offset due to different RX and TX chain frequency calibration, drift, etc. It would be possible to have a baseline SQF file (without compensation) and a few hams do publish that.
You can manually update the Kep files yourself.

Good stuff, Joanne...thanks
One thing, though, that I have never understood, however: Does SatPC32 properly update keps and the sqf data when the 'update' option is used in the program? Or do we need to keep updating manually. I can understand
with
a new sat, manually trying to find the right data, but after the sats are rolling along for a few weeks the normal sites that identify keps usually have that data current.
Thanks for any input

Perhaps these messages from the amsat-bb from a few weeks ago might offer a starting point?

I’m not sure if you received a private response but I have a similar
issue.
I tried to use SatPC32 the other day and found many of the satellite frequencies were not correct. I’m going to have manually edit a bunch
of
them unless I can find someone with a good set of files.
