<> 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?
<We tied that today and that had other undesirable effects like wrong
<frequency ranges for the seleected sats and wrong modes.
<

A lot more information is needed to make sense of that.  :)  However, it is beginning to sound like
you have a corrupted file somewhere.



<> What is the source of the AO-73 Keps as shown in the Satellite Tab?
<On my list of Keps it is the second one.  The computer is at school and not
<here.
<

Name please?


<>
<> Have you compared SatPC32 with another tracking program or the AMSAT
<> online tracker for AO-73?
<A cell phone amp confirmed that ISS, FO29, AO 7, and SO 50 were correct.
<The amp showed AO 73 on my screen was wrong and it was wrong!

OK, that narrows things down.
