[amsat-bb] SatPC32 and Satellites Question

[Alan Blind]

Interesting....

I tried each of the pre-programmed groups to see if each would sort.  The
groups are standard, FM Repeaters, Linear 1 and Linear 2.

All would sort, except for FM Repeaters.  FM Repeaters would not sort for
AOS/LOS.

Sats in the FM group include SO-50, AO-85, AO-91, LILIACAST-2 (not included
in my custom list), and IO-86.  Could one or more of these Sats be the
problem?
