[amsat-bb] FW: HRD tracking errors

Tue Jan 29 21:09:46 UTC 2019

Stefan, because Ted likes the HRD sat program but it has issues. I thought
it has a sqf file that maybe could be edited. Like SatPC32. If HRD does, I
can't find it and that could lead to a fix.

Hi Mike,

Not sure why Ted would be asking for a "SQF" file in HRD. It is a "text"
based file in SatPC32 that stores information related to the operation of
the software and can be edited by the user with a text editor. For example,
frequencies for doppler control = Doppler.sqf
