[amsat-bb] Gpredict question

[Martin Cooper]

It depends on the keps that GPredict is configured to use. You can fix it
by doing the following:

* Go into Edit -> Preferences -> General -> TLE Update
* Under 'Update from the Internet', set the following settings:
   * Remote server: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/
   * Proxy server: (leave blank)
   * Files to fetch: nasabare.txt
* Check 'Add satellites to local database'
* Click OK and exit Preferences

* Choose Edit -> Update TLE -> From network

GPredict will download the AMSAT keps and start using them immediately. It
will also update them regularly from AMSAT.

You'll now find AO-85 and all your other favourite ham sats on the list.

Martin.
