Hi Kev,
Create your own txt file and place it in the directory SatPC32 and Orbitron use as TLE location.
- SatPC32:
open cmd.exe cd %APPDATA%\SatPC32\Kepler notepad <your file>.txt copy the TLE data in this file
after this you can select the file you created when using the Satellites option.
- Orbitron:
cd <orbitron map>\Tle notepad <your file>.txt copy the TLE data in this file
after this you can select the file you created from the load tle option.
Hope this put you in the right direction

Hi Kev, you can do the following (besides the methode Jan, PE0SAT, described already): In SatPC32 click menu "?" > "Auxiliary Files" > "Celestrak.SQF" and add the following line to the data section:
http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/tle-new.txt
Save the file and restart SatPC32.
You can now download the Celestrak Kepsfile tle-new (with the UpdateKeps button). It will then appeasr in the left list of menu "Satellites". It contains the current Keps for the XW2-3 satellites and others. The object 2015-049L is XW2- 3E (= CAS-3E). I added that satellite to group "Diverse" (menu "Satellites"). In Doppler.SQF add the following lines for this satellite (names in Doppler.SQF and Kepsfile must be the same): 2015-049L,145925.0,435280.0,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Transponder 2015-049L,145910.0,0,USB,,0,CW Beacon Save that file also and restart SatPC32.
This morning I had a QSO over the satellite. The signal is very good. Doppler correction by the program worked very well. I heard may signal during the whole pass without any frequency correction. 73s, Erich, DK1TB
