[amsat-bb] Question about SatPC32 Auto satellite switching

[Dave Webb KB1PVH]

Tom,

You need to edit Prior.sql.

>From the manual...

*3. Prior.SQF*

The program performs automatic satellite switching for satellites with a
priority setting. This works as follows: If no priority satellite is in
hearing range, the program switches to a priority satellite as soon as that
satellite's elevation reaches the minimum elevation angle, provided the
satellite effectively comes into hearing range.

If during the hearing range of a priority satellite, another one with
higher priority shows up, the program switches to that one, but only at
elevation 0 to avoid reception time losses. If a priority satellite reaches
LOS, the program switches to a lower priority satellite, provided it is in
hearing range.

The file contains the names and priority degree of the satellites with a
priority setting. A maximum of 9 satellites can be entered. The satellite
with the highest priority 1 has to be first in the list, the satellite with
priority 2, second etc. If the program is used in conjunction with WiSP,
priority settings in both programs have to be the same.
