[amsat-bb] Modified Doppler.SQF

[Erich Eichmann]

Hi,
I have uploaded a ZIP file, containing:
a) a  modified  Doppler.SQF file (initially for testing and 
complementing before it replaces the present one in the SatPC32 setup 
file ). The file extends the previous data with the data from the 
Doppler.SQF file from JE9PEL. This excellent file contains the radio 
data for almost all satellites important for radio amateurs. To be 
compatible with other files I replaced the satellite names used in the 
file  by their AMSAT names (names used in nasa.all, nasabare.txt etc.). 
The modified file therefore manages a significantly larger number of 
satellites, especially newer ones than the previous one, already upon 
installation. The user doesn't need to add the satellites to Doppler.SQF 
himself.

b) a modified AmsatNames.txt file. The file is required for use of 
Doppler.SQF with Space Track/Celestrak Keps files due to their  
different satellite names. The file contains the satellite 'identifiers' 
for all satellites contained in the Keps file nasa.all (approx. 200 ) 
and the assigned AMSAT names of these satellites.

c)
  the tool CreateAmsatNames.exe. The little program creates and updates 
AmsatNames.txt from nasa.all via mouseclick.

The ZIP file can be downloaded here:

If you want to test the files it will be best to unzip Doppler.SQF and 
AmsatNames.txt into the sub folders CfgIII or CfgIV of the SatPC32 data 
folder (path shows up in the footline of menu 'Satellites'. Since the 
folder AppData in the path is hidden by default make hidden files and 
folders visible). Then they can be tested with the SatPC32 
configurations 3 or 4 and 1 and 2 remain unchanged. To keep the present 
files you may rename them.

Unzip CreateAmsatNames.exe into the SatPC32 program folder and start it 
with the File Explorer or add an entry to aux. file Programs.SQF.
