Re: [amsat-bb] HRD tracking errors
Terry, Thanks for the thoughts. I "combed" thru the Keps. I did notice that AO-91 had a catalog # of 43015, not 43017. I corrected that. Still, no Joy. AO-92 is OK. AO-85 still a problem, and AO-91 is still 30 minutes off. It definitely is something with the Keps. HRD and SatPC32 use different "element sets". SatPC32 uses "nasa.txt", HRD uses "nasabare.txt and amateur.txt". I need to figure out how to get "nasa.all" into HRD. And, one of the 2 element sets, in HRD, is loading 3 keps entries for AO-91, each with different "catalog numbers", as noted above. Also, I have noticed with each "update" (many), the sat track gets slower loading. There is an "upcoming" update. I may try and "uninstall" HRD, reinstall with a "fresh" copy.
Thanks again. Best from the "Florida Keys" WB1FXX

Hi Francis,
Do you have multiple entries for AO-91 and AO-85? I have found this to be a problem with some other tracking programs. What happens is that you load the keps just after launch before the sats have been finally identified. The keps are then updated with a different object number and you get 2 entries for a given sat.
I've just downloaded a demo of HDR Sat and I just have 1 entry for each and it tracks correctly.

I use HRD Sat., SatPC32 and Amsat Droid. SatPC32 and Amsat Droid agree on position of FM birds, HRD shows some birds 30 min. earlier than expected. Mainly, AO-91 and AO-85. Anyone else noticed this tracking error ? I have "poured" thru ALL HRD's settings, reloaded keps, etc. Nothing seems to correct this tracking anomaly. Grrrrr.

Thanks for the tip! But, unfortunately, HRD and SatPC32 don't offer that choice. I guess I'll have to "load" them manually. I used to do that back with the "DOS" base software with the RS series of Sats. Jeeezz... Have I been doing "Sats" that Long ?

It's worth remembering that not all the satellites launched show up in the main TLE lists so the AMSAT list is still probably the best one at https://www.amsat.org/tle/current/nasabare.txt
You can add optional TLE links to SatPC32 within its options
As the main issue seems to be HRD, if its paid subscription I'm sure they can help you sort it.

As many of you know, we've committed resources to revise Ham Radio Deluxe's Satellite Tracking application. We've invested in buying rigs, rotor hardware, and antennas in an effort to eliminate all problems related to these applications... and moving the ball forward.
With that in mind... where can I get "nasa all"?

"catalog
numbers", as noted above. Also, I have noticed with each "update" (many), the sat track gets
slower
loading. There is an "upcoming" update. I may try and "uninstall" HRD, reinstall with a "fresh" copy.

Hi Francis,
Do you have multiple entries for AO-91 and AO-85? I have found this to be a problem with some other tracking programs. What happens is that you load the keps just after launch before the
sats
have been finally identified. The keps are then updated with a different object number and you get
2
entries for a given sat.
I've just downloaded a demo of HDR Sat and I just have 1 entry for
each
and it tracks correctly.

I use HRD Sat., SatPC32 and Amsat Droid. SatPC32 and Amsat Droid agree on position of FM birds, HRD shows some
birds
30 min. earlier than expected. Mainly, AO-91 and AO-85. Anyone else
noticed
this tracking error ? I have "poured" thru ALL HRD's settings, reloaded keps, etc. Nothing
seems
to correct this tracking anomaly. Grrrrr.

Hi Francis,
Your assumption is not correct. SatPC32 has the option of selecting other sources for Keppler files. As stated in the FAQs you need to modify the Celestrak.SQF and specify another source as long as it starts with http...
Please familiarize yourself with the SatPC32 manual and its FAQs. It will help in solving any perceived problems.

Terry, Thanks for the thoughts. I "combed" thru the Keps. I did notice that AO-91 had a catalog # of 43015, not 43017. I corrected that. Still, no Joy. AO-92 is OK. AO-85

Hi Francis,
Do you have multiple entries for AO-91 and AO-85? I have found this to be a problem with some other tracking programs. What happens is that you load the keps just after launch before the
sats
have been finally identified. The keps are then updated with a different object number and you get
2
entries for a given sat.
I've just downloaded a demo of HDR Sat and I just have 1 entry for
each
and it tracks correctly.

I use HRD Sat., SatPC32 and Amsat Droid. SatPC32 and Amsat Droid agree on position of FM birds, HRD shows
some
birds
30 min. earlier than expected. Mainly, AO-91 and AO-85. Anyone else
noticed
this tracking error ? I have "poured" thru ALL HRD's settings, reloaded keps, etc. Nothing

Hi Mike,
Not sure why Ted would be asking for a "SQF" file in HRD. It is a "text" based file in SatPC32 that stores information related to the operation of the software and can be edited by the user with a text editor. For example, frequencies for doppler control = Doppler.sqf

Stefan, because Ted likes the HRD sat program but it has issues. I thought it has a sqf file that maybe could be edited. Like SatPC32. If HRD does, I can't find it and that could lead to a fix.

Mike, here are a couple of answers that were posted for me a few weeks ago:
Keps are the Keplarian elements that define a satellite's orbit and are used to predict its location. You have to update these every few days (daily for ISS, which reboots its orbit from time to time). You trigger the update manually, using the Update Keps button, and specify the update source for the keps - the NASA.bare keps from AMSAT are a good choice (they include AO-85).
The sqf file contains information that defines the operational modes of a satellite (frequencies, tones, modulation, and so on). This info gets entered once when the satellite is new. It might need to change if the frequency drifts with age or if a new satellite isn't operating as expected, but generally remains fixed. You edit this file with a text editor.
Dave, W8AAS
Have the above answered your questions? Seems to me two different issues have been mixed here as the Keps and Doppler.sqf are two different items and updating one does not update the other 1. The Keps can be updated from a number of sources to be found on the drop down under the <Satellites> tab 2. Doppler.sqf is manually updated by you when a new satellite is added to the family using Notepad or some kind of text editor. Be sure to follow the rules embedded in Doppler.sqf when messing with the file. You can save a copy that has not been modified the Uplink calibration process as Doppler.REF or some such thing. And, yes, each radio has slightly different calibration offsets in Doppler.SQF. That is what I use the 4 different configuration options for <Setup><Configurations>. I use one config for a pair of FT-817's another for an IC-910H and a third for Flex 6600. 3. Don't forget if you are adding a new FM satellite to Doppler.SQF you also need to go into Subtones.SQF and add the new satellite to that list as well so the T0 > T1 >T2 toggle works correctly. Again follow the embedded instructions carefully. This is another file that can be manipulated with a text editor like Notepad. Hope this helps, John Kludt
