AMSAT web site's store page also has MacDoppler listed. I have been very pleased with it.

I forwarded the request for information to Dee. Dee provided accurate information to the individual. There is no reason to "pick" on him for trying to inform this individual of other alternates and, raise money for AMSAT. We do depend on memberships, donations, etc for our survival. We receive no grants or funds from other sources. If you believe in what we are doing, then support AMSAT. If not, do not pick on the messenger.

So what you're saying is that I should use Windows, even though I don't want to? I did not know that it was mandatory to use a certain OS in order to use the satellites. I also did not know that purchasing a piece of software was the only way to support AMSAT. Shame on me :)
I was just making a suggestion not based on the fact that it's free of charge (re-read my mail) but based on the fact that Gpredict supports other platforms as Windows.
And no, I don't feel guilty about not using Windows for my shack PC while I'm typing this on my Mac.
Have a lovely day.

And you and Nigel should feel guilty about using the sats that others contribute to and support- Try putting up your own...Don't know what beef you have against those that are trying to get better sats in orbit, but if you continue to omit and not support the facts that they cost money and NEED support, so goes that end of the hobby...I for one, do not wish for this to happen- Different discussion. Go ARRISat-1 ! Dee, NB2F

You should switch to GPredict it's free (as in freedom) and open source and available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

You should switch to Orbitron. It's free and you don't have to pay for it. http://www.stoff.pl/

You should switch to SATPC32 available at the AMSAT website for purchase since this is the program AMSAT supports..
