Hi all,
I am using PCsat32 a lot to get me started on the sats (made my ever first contact via Funcube thanks to ON5NY).
I use both the WinAos feature to print off the next day's passes, and I also use the Countdown feature to get
ready for the next satellite pass when operating.
I noticed today that WinAos gave Funcube a Max elevation of 34 degs, but Countdown gave the same pass a max
elevation of 80degs (Which is the correct one).
Anyone know why the two programs give different results?

Peter,
Check that you are using the same Observer position and source file in both programs.
