Nels,

I have found that the SATPC32 function which allows you to assign a name to
an object number is very helpful at times like this when a new satellite is
being commissioned.  It seems they are always changing the name in the keps.
I have added the following line to the AMSATNAMES.TXT file:

36122 09072B   XW-1

You can access it through the Auxiliary Files function.  This has the
advantage that you can define the Doppler, PL Tones, etc using XW-1 and they
will be recognized no matter what the common name is in the keps.  Also, if
we find that a different object is a better fit, you only need to change
this one line.  They have already requested an Oscar designation, so once
that is done, you can replace XW-1 with the new number if you wish.

Hello Nels,
Alex, VK5ALX, has already replied to your mail and suggested to add the
following entries to Doppler.SQF:

XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1),435790,145910,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,CWbcn
XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1),435740,145950,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Xponder
XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1),435675,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Rptr-BBS

Alan, WA4SCA, suggested the same entries  some days ago, but used the
satellite name XW-1.
Also, Alan  mentioned that you need to add an entry to SubTone.SQF.

It is most important that the spelling of the satellite name in Doppler.SQF
and in SubTone.SQF exactly matches the spelling  in the Keps file.

So (if you use the entries above ) your Keps file could  contain the
following data set (the data seem to be precise):

XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1)
1 36122U 09072B   09350.14452292 -.00000045  00000-0  00000+0 0    77
2 36122 100.4974 047.2295 0007562 040.0327 320.1583 13.16283842   130

When you insert that set (with copy and paste) into an existing Keps file
make sure that the length of  the lines #1 and #2 is equal with these lines
in  the other data sets and that the position of the parameters is exactly
the same as in the other sets. Include spaces if necessary. Use fonts with
equal width for all letters anf figures.

The entry in SubTone.SQF with that satellite name should be:
XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1),67.0,$3F,1

If you want to use the name XW-1 change the name in all entries.

55 + 73s, Erich, DK1TB
