[amsat-bb] HRD tracking errors

[Francis Geraci]

Thanks for the tip!
But, unfortunately, HRD and SatPC32 don't offer that choice. I guess I'll
have to "load" them manually. I used to do that back with the "DOS" base
software with the RS series of Sats. Jeeezz... Have I been doing "Sats"
that Long ?
