I would first add this line to the Doppler.SQF file... BY70-1,436200,145920,FM,FM,Nor,0,0,Voice V/U Then add this line to the subTone.SQF file... BY70-1,67.0,$3F,1 (for an Icom, I'm not sure of other rigs, but you can watch your rigs display to see if the tone is toggled on/off) RTFM Then I download the keps from nasa.all (I was fudging them in for a day) and you should be good to go when you add BY70-1 73 Jeff kb2m -----Original Message----- From: AMSAT-BB [mailto:amsat-bb-bounces@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Stephen E. Belter Sent: Friday, December 30, 2016 4:01 PM To: Mark Johns; AMSAT-BB Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] BY70-1 Mark, I also get the “E/A-Fehler 105.” error message when I add BY70-1 to a satellite group in SatPC32. Other people don’t have the problem. The error message (in German) means I/O Error 105 in the Delphi programming environment, which I believe is an error writing to a file. What I can’t yet answer is how to fix the problem. We may have a file permissions problem. Anybody have a solution or know where to look? 73, Steve N9IP -- Steve Belter, seb@wintek.com On 12/30/16, 1:20 PM, "AMSAT-BB on behalf of Mark Johns via AMSAT-BB" <amsat-bb-bounces@amsat.org on behalf of amsat-bb@amsat.org> wrote: >When I put keps for BY70-1 into SatPC32 (either yesterday's keps or >today's), it pops up a box that says, "E/A - Fehler 105."
