[amsat-bb] AO 73 and SatPC32 program

[Alan]

Rich,

A few other bits of information which will help.

Are you using the AmsatNames.txt file, and if so, what is the AO-73 entry?  

What is the source of the AO-73 Keps as shown in the Satellite Tab?

Have you compared SatPC32 with another tracking program or the AMSAT online tracker for AO-73?

73s,

Alan
WA4SCA

<Our locator point on the map works correctly for all the other sats.  When
<the program announces AOS the antenna is on the sats and the radio is on
<frequency and Doppler is working.  On AO 73 this is not the case.  AO 73
<tracking is not working correctly.  We see frequency and Doppler working but
<the sat is located somewhere else.  Again the TLE is correct.
