Hi Francis,
Your assumption is not correct. SatPC32 has the option of selecting other sources for Keppler files. As stated in the FAQs you need to modify the Celestrak.SQF and specify another source as long as it starts with http...
Please familiarize yourself with the SatPC32 manual and its FAQs. It will help in solving any perceived problems.

Thanks for the tip! But, unfortunately, HRD and SatPC32 don't offer that choice. I guess I'll have to "load" them manually. I used to do that back with the "DOS" base software with the RS series of Sats. Jeeezz... Have I been doing "Sats" that Long ?

If possible to set on your tracking pgms,

All sats Keps updated every 4 hours

Terry, Thanks for the thoughts. I "combed" thru the Keps. I did notice that AO-91 had a catalog # of 43015, not 43017. I corrected that. Still, no Joy. AO-92 is OK. AO-85
still
a problem, and AO-91 is still 30 minutes off. It definitely is something with the Keps. HRD and SatPC32 use different "element sets". SatPC32 uses "nasa.txt", HRD uses "nasabare.txt and amateur.txt". I
need
to
figure out how to get "nasa.all" into HRD. And, one of the 2 element
sets,
in HRD, is loading 3 keps entries for AO-91, each with different
"catalog
numbers", as noted above. Also, I have noticed with each "update" (many), the sat track gets
slower
loading. There is an "upcoming" update. I may try and "uninstall" HRD, reinstall with a "fresh" copy.
Thanks again. Best from the "Florida Keys" WB1FXX

Hi Francis,
Do you have multiple entries for AO-91 and AO-85? I have found this to be a problem with some other tracking programs. What happens is that you load the keps just after launch before the
sats
have been finally identified. The keps are then updated with a different object number and you get 2 entries for a given sat.
I've just downloaded a demo of HDR Sat and I just have 1 entry for
each
and it tracks correctly.

I use HRD Sat., SatPC32 and Amsat Droid. SatPC32 and Amsat Droid agree on position of FM birds, HRD shows some birds 30 min. earlier than expected. Mainly, AO-91 and AO-85. Anyone else noticed this tracking error ? I have "poured" thru ALL HRD's settings, reloaded keps, etc. Nothing seems to correct this tracking anomaly. Grrrrr.
