[amsat-bb] HRD tracking errors

[Ted Krempa]

1. You can add/delete/edit any kep source you want in HRD. Open 'Satellite
definition' tab and click on 'Kepler' Data tab

2. v6.4.0.902 just released

Terry,
Thanks for the thoughts.
I "combed" thru the Keps. I did notice that AO-91 had a catalog # of
43015, not 43017. I corrected that. Still, no Joy. AO-92 is OK. AO-85 still
a problem, and AO-91 is still 30 minutes off.
It definitely is something with the Keps. HRD and SatPC32 use different
"element sets".
SatPC32 uses "nasa.txt", HRD uses "nasabare.txt and amateur.txt". I need to
figure out how to get "nasa.all" into HRD. And, one of the 2 element sets,
in HRD, is loading 3 keps entries for AO-91, each with different "catalog
numbers", as noted above.
Also, I have noticed with each "update" (many), the sat track gets slower
loading.
There is an "upcoming" update. I may try and "uninstall" HRD, reinstall
with a "fresh" copy.

Thanks again. Best from the "Florida Keys"
