[amsat-bb] Doppler.Sqf files in SatPC32

Dear Folks:

I have two questions.

First, I am having trouble figuring out CAT for the linear satellites 
(not as critical as FM birds, but my CAT works for those just fine).  
When I create the Doppler.Sqf file for SatPC32, do I used the center 
frequency for the passband as the entry into the file, or should I use 
some other frequency?  When I try and use CAT for the linear birds, it 
really doesn't work (the downlink and uplink frequencies rarely match up 
and I end up adjusting for doppler manually after turning CAT off).

Second, I initially typed up my Sqf files by hand after reading the 
instructions.  However, I checked out the Sqf file generator on the 
AMSAT and notice that the file generated always ends with a ",".  Since 
I hadn't included that when I manually typed the files (I've since added 
it) is it possible that that could be part of the problem on the linear 
birds?

Thanks for any help you can give me and 73 de Bernie, KF0QS
