So I cut and pasted the new Doppler.SQF file from JE9PEL / Mineo Wakita site. Restarted, but none of the satellites will track frequency. I assume this is due to a difference in the naming conventions in the Kep file.
I use “NASA ALL” for my keps. Not certain which version Mineo uses for his.
Hate to complain about software when the proceeds are going to support AMSAT (much appreciated). But why does this have to be so difficult? It really should be as easy as “update Keps” and everything syncs.
Two pet peeves-
- The lack of standardization in how satellites are named. And then they change names. This causes confusion and incompatibility with software, tracking apps, etc. Why not settle on a standard and stick to it?
-The lack of modern GUI and user-friendly software for the amateur satellite community. If someone suggests open-source nonsense, my head might explode. Happy to pay handsomely for anyone who codes something to make this all easier.
When I find another few hours with nothing to do, I’ll try to edit the Doppler.SQF file to match, troubleshoot until it works, etc.
Thanks anyway. Probably won’t see me back on the birds this weekend. My hobby time is too limited.
