Are you saying the antennas are pointing in the wrong direction? If so, do the antennas point in the same direction as the program says to point?

I will try to get screen shots tomorrow.
Our locator point on the map works correctly for all the other sats. When the program announces AOS the antenna is on the sats and the radio is on frequency and Doppler is working. On AO 73 this is not the case. AO 73 tracking is not working correctly. We see frequency and Doppler working but the sat is located somewhere else. Again the TLE is correct.

Rich,
A few other bits of information which will help.
Are you using the AmsatNames.txt file, and if so, what is the AO-73 entry?
What is the source of the AO-73 Keps as shown in the Satellite Tab?
Have you compared SatPC32 with another tracking program or the AMSAT online tracker for AO-73?

Rich,
A few other bits of information which will help.
Are you using the AmsatNames.txt file, and if so, what is the AO-73 entry?
We tied that today and that had other undesirable effects like wrong frequency ranges for the seleected sats and wrong modes.
What is the source of the AO-73 Keps as shown in the Satellite Tab?
On my list of Keps it is the second one. The computer is at school and not here.
Have you compared SatPC32 with another tracking program or the AMSAT online tracker for AO-73?
A cell phone amp confirmed that ISS, FO29, AO 7, and SO 50 were correct. The amp showed AO 73 on my screen was wrong and it was wrong!

A lot more information is needed to make sense of that. :) However, it is beginning to sound like you have a corrupted file somewhere.

Sounds like the program is not really looking for AO-73. Perhaps look at it in reverse... At the time the program thinks AO-73 is at AOS, what other satellite actually is? Compare settings, and you'll probably discover what is wrong.

There will be a great SO 50 pass between 1300 -1400 Friday morning. We will have students at that time from the electronics class at Great Bridge HS. Call W4GBH - FM 16. It is difficult to get passes with class room time.
Thanks everyone for our test QSOs yesterday and today.
