[amsat-bb] SatPC32 Stalls at AOS

[Alan]

You mentioned that the clock stops.  Upper right? 

When you loaded the newer version, did you use the backup facility to restore your settings?  If so, try doing a clean install, and then reconfiguring manually.  Painful, but I have had something odd which was traceable eventually to a corrupted configuration file.

73,

<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.

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

<always is less than 10%. I’m at a loss as to where to look to resolve this issue.
<Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
