Hi, I have uploaded a ZIP file, containing: a) a modified Doppler.SQF file (initially for testing and complementing before it replaces the present one in the SatPC32 setup file ). The file extends the previous data with the data from the Doppler.SQF file from JE9PEL. This excellent file contains the radio data for almost all satellites important for radio amateurs. To be compatible with other files I replaced the satellite names used in the file by their AMSAT names (names used in nasa.all, nasabare.txt etc.). The modified file therefore manages a significantly larger number of satellites, especially newer ones than the previous one, already upon installation. The user doesn't need to add the satellites to Doppler.SQF himself.
b) a modified AmsatNames.txt file. The file is required for use of Doppler.SQF with Space Track/Celestrak Keps files due to their different satellite names. The file contains the satellite 'identifiers' for all satellites contained in the Keps file nasa.all (approx. 200 ) and the assigned AMSAT names of these satellites.
c) the tool CreateAmsatNames.exe. The little program creates and updates AmsatNames.txt from nasa.all via mouseclick.
The ZIP file can be downloaded here: www.dk1tb.de/NewDoppler.ZIP
If you want to test the files it will be best to unzip Doppler.SQF and AmsatNames.txt into the sub folders CfgIII or CfgIV of the SatPC32 data folder (path shows up in the footline of menu 'Satellites'. Since the folder AppData in the path is hidden by default make hidden files and folders visible). Then they can be tested with the SatPC32 configurations 3 or 4 and 1 and 2 remain unchanged. To keep the present files you may rename them.
Unzip CreateAmsatNames.exe into the SatPC32 program folder and start it with the File Explorer or add an entry to aux. file Programs.SQF.
