I have used SatPC32 in demo mode in the past with no dificulties. After a short hiatus from sats I loaded things up today and find all of the sats WAY off when compared to on-line live tracks and Orbitron. All seem to be half the earth away from real-time tracks and I can not figure out why the error.
I have updated keps both from within the program and manually though all files show the same creation dates.
Suggestions?
Sounds like the time is off, either your PC clock, or a setting in SatPC. 73, Jim KQ6EA

A daylight savings time error? BTW...If you manually adjusted for daylight savings, Windoz will be more than happy to subtract ANOTHER hour when it thinks it should!
