[amsat-bb] SAT32PC question

[Dave Webb KB1PVH]

Ted,

 The nasabare is only the TLE which is what's used to track the satellite.
The doppler.sqf is the actual frequency and mode info for each satellite
that only needs to be added to when a new satellite is added. I'm not sure
where HRD gets the frequency and tone info when a new satellite is launched
if you don't manually put it in. HRD works fine I guess for FM but totally
blows it on the SSB birds unless they really have fixed things.
