All,
Those who want to use their FUNcube Dongle to track satellites may like to try my tool SATCONTROL_FCD (first beta release).
You can download a zip file here: http://www.dk3wn.info/files/SatControl_FCD.zip
The sat.ini can be configured as needed (own locator, path to your TLE file / Doppler.sql (SatPC32). The front end FCHid.exe needs to be running first.
If you enable the checkbox in the frequency frame SATCONTROL_FCD will write the calculated frequency directly into the FCD controller software.

Hi Mike,
thanks for yet another excellent free-of-charge contribution to the amateur radio satellite community. I guess now I have to buy a FunCube ...
Warm regards

Hi Mike,
I have it configured here and it's writing frequency changes to my Dongle. Now to wait for a Sat pass to track.
