[amsat-bb] Is there satellite tracking software for smart phones?

[Pedro Converso]

Mike,

Try http://amsat.org.ar/pass

Shows in real time where to point antenna, mode to use and uplink/downlink
frequencies Doppler corrected.

Works on any portable device, both online and/or offline.

No need to setup Keps, should take your location automatically.

Good luck with the birds !
