[amsat-bb] SatPC32 CountDown can't show multiple passes from the same sat?

It makes some sense.

What happened was I already identified a pass on ISS Detector on my phone
and I wanted to keep track of it on my PC, so when I loaded SatPC32 up and
didn't see it but CountDown had all the other same sats in the same order
as ISS Detector, except the one I was interested in, I was a
little confused.

I still don't see a problem with showing both/all passses! So I submit this
as a Request For Enhancement :-)
