I created a new satellite group containing the three NOAA APT satellites. The group was (I think) successfully created. I can re-start the program and it's still there.
Now I want to use it with WinAOS to see when they are passing over. I open WinAOS and click on the Sat. Groups button in the dialog box to pick my group but it's not listed there.
Section E.2 - WinAOS of the online manual is only 2 lines long and says nothing about how to import new satellite groups into its list. It does say "Please read the instructions" except I can find no other instructions.
Help!

Ken,
Out of curiosity why don't you just use the Group "NOAA" that comes standard with SatPC32 instead of making a new group with the same satellites?

Hi Dave,
Same problem. I see the group called Weather (mine doesn't have a NOAA group) in SatPC32, and it has the 3 satellites I'm interested in. But when I run WinAOS and select a sat group the list has Weather1 and Weather2, neither of which is the same as the Weather group in SatPC32!
It's very frustrating, and the documentation is inadequate.
Thanks anyway,
Ken VE3HLS

Pedro,
While I respect that your keen to push the amsat.org.ar pass tool, I have noticed you seem to post it to every thread when it's not relevant making it no more than spam. I appreciate your keen to market it but keep to topic.

Why not just make up your own groups like I did....
Edit one of the existing .SAT groups to your liking, then rename and save as a xxx.SAT. There in the users xxxx AppData Roaming SatPC32 directory...
Easy peasy...

I see SatFiles.SQF in the list of Auxiliary files. Interestingly, the group I created earlier is listed there. Some text in the file refers to a few other configuration files. However, the files are not in the Auxiliary Files list. It's like the author doesn't want me to edit them, no?

Working from memory since I am not at the shack, but there are files which hold the groups for each program:
SatFiles.SQF AosFiles.SQF WisFiles.SQF ISSFiles.SQF
On the rare time that I do a new group, I always have to figure this out. Hopefully remembered correctly.

Making up my own satellite group is exactly what I'm trying to do. However, the docs don't say I have to work "under the hood" and search my hard drive and edit configuration files the author has hidden away in order to accomplish this.
Proper, up to date documentation would solve this problem.
Thanks anyway,
