I read about Orbitron on this list, never have used but just downloaded. Is there a way to have it just list the amateur satellites?

It will show whatever satellites you want, it depends on which tle source you choose

Hi Paul,
TLE data about the amateur satellites are in file: amateur.txt
Click on the button "Load TLE" or use Left ALT + L then select file: amateur.txt
On the right side you will see list of satellites connected with HAM radio. You can select items that are interesting for you (check the square).
In a case, when you want to follow a lunch of new satellites (CubeSat’s), then you can use also tle-new.txt (instead of amateur.txt). There will temporary names (not real names of satelites). When CubeSat’s are recognized in the sky and confirmed their position, then items with "right name" should appear in amateur.txt file.

Another feature that is very handy in Orbitron is the ability to select and use more that one element set by holding Crtl down while selecting sets of elements. Also I have added the NASALL set from the Amsat page to my list. You won't find AO-85 in the amateur or cubesat set so the NASA set fixes that issue.
