Hi folks, I am looking for a good program like Orbitron or the old Satsked that gives me the possibility to keep under the eyes all the satellite and in the mean time has the possibility to track the satellites moving also the rotators and the radio.I was using SatPC interfaced with the rotators with the ERC-M kit and the Kenwood TS-2000x. It is a great program but has the problem that I do not have under my eyes all the satellites and have noticed that if I am visualising in one group and in another group there is a satellite rising I will not be advised. Orbitron is OK as I can have all the satellites under my eyes but I cannot or better I do not know how to interface it with the radio and the Yaesu G-5500 rotators via the ERC-M interface kit. Anybody can point me to the right way? Thanks

Have you tried GPredict? It is available for Linux, OSX, and Windows. I do not know if it would satisfy your requirements, but it is free.

Vincenzo,
How many satellites at a time do you want to look at? SATpc32 can show up to twelve at a time and that is more than I can visually keep track of.
