HRD Satellite Tracking Question
I was trying to setup HRD last night, and the strangest thing. When I go into options, to put in my grid square, it is grayed out. It shows me in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of West Africa.
To make it even stranger, it says (grayed out again) that I'm in EM65.
Loaded it on the laptop we're planning to use for field day next weekend, and it was the same.
What am I missing here? I did set up myself in the observers section, but that didn't seem to change anything either.
Thanks, Dave

Dave,
You will need to set your grid in either the HRD Logbook or DM780 terminal programs. Your grid is set under the "My Station" section. Go to "Tools" pull down menu bar in DM780 select "My Station" or in Logbook go to "Tools" menu bar them "Configure" and then "My Station"

Hello Dave,
An easy app for field day to track satellites is at: http://amsat.org.ar/pass
Will work on any portable device even without Internet, good luck and plenty QSOs.

I found it, thanks!
It's all working now. Had to get it set up here in the shack, and on the laptop. Was driving me crazy.
