Carl,

Open SATPC32, and then the File menu. Click on Open, which will take you to your current Kep director. Use the usual method to browse to the one you want to use. That should change the default.

Someone knowledgeable told me he fixed a path problem this way, but it was many revision of SATPC32 ago. Let me know if it still works.

Is there a way I can change the default PATH for my Keps files in SatPC? I like to keep one Kep file on one computer and load them over my LAN to the other computers/programs.

I want to start using SatPC again after not being very successful using HRD Sat Tracker on ARISSat-1. It seems that the program of choice here on this bulletin board is SatPC. It has been ages since I have used it so I am trying to get it up-to-date and configured for ARISSat-1. I have spent hours searching the archives and I think I have all the SQF files setup. It is controlling the radio (TS-2000) and rotor.

Thanks,

Hi Carl, as Alan wrote already, you can specify another Keps path (separately for each satellite group) with menu "File", "Open". The new path will be stored in the aux. file "SatSources.SQF" in the SatPC32 main data folder.

If you want to update your Keps with the "UpdateKeps" function (menu "Satellites") you should keep the default path, however, because that function will store the downloaded files always in the default Keps folder regardless of another specified path. For more information see the manual, sect. D. 1. a.
