Gpredict "Transponder" database update for ISS?
Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there is a way to update Gpredict's "Transponder" database for the new ISS cross-band repeater? The program can download a JSON blobby-thing from the Internet with all the transponders included, but the Mode V/U FM Voice information for the ISS is for the old radio (145.800 up, instead of 145.990).
I can temporarily override the setting in the Radio Control screen, but it reverts back to the un-altered information from time to time, which is rather annoying.
Thanks,
Greg KO6TH
Greg,
This is sourced through the SatNOGS database. It looks like the proper transmitter is listed as Mode V/U FM - Voice Repeater: https://db.satnogs.org/satellite/25544#transmitters
