Apologies if this is not the correct forum for SatPC32 questions.
It appears to me that either SatPC32 does not handle Daylight Savings Time correctly or I missed a setting somewhere. My passes show to be an hour late, when compared with HamRadioDeluxe. If I disable DST on my Win7 OS, the tracks are in agreement. I'm running V12.8c. What am I missing? Thanks.

Darrell,
This is definitely the right place to ask.
Have you verified which program is correct, by pass reception? If not, take a look here:

I have DST enabled on my computer, and UTC offset set to auto in SatPC32 and it handles the time changes correctly.

Alan, Yes, I know that HRD is correct based on hearing the birds at the right time using its prediction. Further, SatPC32 shows the wrong UTC (one hour later) in the upper right corner. For instance, now it's showing 15:31, but UTC is 14:31.
Thanks. BTW, I'm running Windows 7 with latest updates.
73, Darrell W4CX
