Hi Mal.

As it comes Orbitron or any other piece of software will have some TLEs
loaded but these will be quite old.
To update you need a list of current space 'objects' and a set of TLEs that
have been produced in the last week or 2.

You can either set the program to look at a particular place to load them
automatically, or you can copy and paste into notepad etc

The current set of TLEs for amateur radio satellites can be found here:
https://www.amsat.org/tle/current/nasa.all

Regards

David
