Re: HRD Sat Tracking program - slow?
Also have negative experience with Vista and HRD satellite, but not the luxury of going back to XP. In my case it works, but if I try and control two radios (as it does easily on XP), one updates frequencies for doppler nicely, and the other either not at all, or only once a minute or so. All I have to do to catch things up is uncheck one or the other radio.
Not a programmer but perhaps some overhead in controlling the ports? I have serial ports as well as USB converters. Doesnt seem to matter which I use.
SATPC32, by comparison, seems to work fine, but I really like some of the Sat features of HRD and am sad I cant use them anymore.

Hi,
Anyone using the Sat Tracking feature on Ham Radio Deluxe?
When I click on New Satellite, CPU usage shoots to 100% and it takes over a minute to display the track of the new sat. Also very slow on several other functions. This can't be normal, is it my computer or is it Vista? Running a new Lenovo desktop with Windows Vista.
I tried it with my Windows XP laptop and it worked fine. Darn Vista. Any way to get it working properly with Vista (32 bit version)?
Any cure?

Ditto here. The TX radio does not seem to be interfacing in a timely fashion with HRD, which updates the TX radio when it finally does sense that transmitting is occurring.
