Hello all, Today I spent several hours (computer illiterate) setting up SatPC32 with my new IC-9700. It is working great on several of the sats. I have noticed that several of the newer sats do not have the freq data in the program and therefore do not track the sats with doppler shift compensation. The ones I am trying to use are: RS-44, CAS 4A, CAS 4B, IO86, and EO88. With further study I noticed that data is lacking for these sats in the doppler.SQF file. Rather than reinventing the wheel I was wondering if anyone knows where I can obtain this data and maybe just copy and paste it into the doppler.SQF file? That would sure be a nice solution as my head hurts from installing drivers and cables and SatPC32 today. Thanks, Brad W5BK
Brad,
Being able to edit your own doppler.sqf lines is a good skill to have if you are going to use SatPC32 even if your brain is tired from the initial setup. AMSAT has a line generator that will create it for you when you input the basic info. https://www.amsat.org/doppler-sqf-line-generator/

Thanks guys. I rolled my own. Wasn’t too bad with that line generator. Appreciate the help.
