[amsat-bb] SatPC32 Stalls at AOS

[Allen]

Mark-
Thanks for the reply. I have sent an email to w0dhb about the availability of an updated FlexSatPC. I note that his original download site has been taken down.

I have reconfigurated SatPC32 to bypass using FlexSatPC and am still encountering the stalling of SatPC32 once a satellite passes the 0 degree elevation threshhold. I suspect there is a setting that I have overlooked, I just don’t know where.
Regards,

FlexSatPC current version is v.8.7.4. Your version is pretty old. You may be due for an update.

  Hi All,
  For several months I have been automatically receiving frames from the Fox-1 satellites. Typically at –3 degrees elev, the az/el sets the antenna position correctly and the radio is tuned to the correct frequency. But lately as soon as 0 degrees el is reached, SatPC32 stalls, the clock stops and nothing further happens until I manually click on the enabled satellite. Everything again proceeds normally, until the next scheduled satellite reaches 0 degrees el and SatPC32 stops. Since this error I upgraded from Ver 12.8c to 12.8d which produced the same error. I reinstalled 12.8c but the condition persists. In receive only mode, I’m using a Flex 1500 with FlexSatPC 7.2.2 and the computer uses Win10 Pro with an i7 processor and 8GM RAM. CPU demand always is less than 10%. I’m at a loss as to where to look to resolve this issue. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
