Rick, There is something very unusual going on here. Satpc32 does not like certain letter formats. Not sure just what's going on. Humor me. Open whichever TLE file you're referencing. (Those satellites are listed MORE than one TLE. Ask me how I know.) Copy and paste the satellite name from the TLE to DOPPLER.SQF. I have the WX sats in their own "group" referenced to the "NOAA" TLE. BTW: the last character (unprintable) in each line is a carriage return/ line feed (0d0ah), supplied by hitting "enter" on your keyboard. That is the "end of string" character that the parsing routine loading DOPPLER.SQF is looking for. No end of line character, it throws away the data. (I think..) Norm n3ykf

All,
A little help with SAT pc 32. I just started to play around with decode the NOAA weather sats. I want to get the frequencies into the dopper.sqf file so I can see the Doppler correction. I've edited the file and only two of the three sats show the frequency. The format is the same for all three:
NOAA 15,137620.0,,FM,,,,
NOAA 18,137910.0,,FM,,,,
NOAA 19,137100.0,,FM,,,,
NOAA 15 is the culprit that won't show.
I've looked with a fine tooth comb for any differences and don't see any. I also looked in the KEp file for the Weather & NOAA sats and the sat name is correct. Anyone see what I'm missing.
