[amsat-bb] KlaTrack [ Problem Saving Settings ]

[Les Rayburn]

Chris,

My sincere apologies. I got it running two weeks ago. The day before we left for a work-related trip. It’s running great now. 

The only issue was that I needed to resize the window so the that the “Save” button was visible. Operator error 100%. It’s a great program, and a real aid to satellite operators. Highly recommended. 

Now if I can just find time to get on the air! 


73,

When you ran it for the first time it popped up a window and said "data will be stored in C:\Users\XXXX\KLATrack" where XXXX is your username.  Now it's possible that was a different directory as the program asks the OS for your home directory and it might return something different depending on how you have things configured.  But look there and see if there is a directory.  It should contain two files, klatracker.properties and nasabare.txt
