Hi David
Do have a spare 2Ghz TX. A simple CW tx would do me for the Eshail
satellite. I have a 1.2M and a 1.8M dish already.

sorry for the off topic chat......
Mi Mal.
There is also a patch for Nova on Win 7. I have it running on
Win 7 64bit without issues although after about a year it all goes horribly
wrong and I need to start again.
If you keep it running in the background (minimised) it is perfect.
You can update TLEs either automatically of from a text file when you select
"manual update from file"

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
Regards
David
Tnx David for the reply. Orbitron TLE download does not include AO95
and more recent satellites.
Was wondering whether the download does not include latest launches or
the Orbitron prog was not accepting the info
Will have to investigate further

Orbitron is still available.
However my favourite is Nova for Windows. www.nlsa.com. It's a bit old now but it has a nice map
display and is free.
Hi
Mal !
ORBITRON (rev 3.71) is still working well, you can still
download TLEs
and integrate new satellites, and I have no problems
under Win7/64. Have
been using it from the start up to now.
Via
the integrated DDE-software-interface I could let ORBITRON steer my
homebrew Sat-equipment (by use of homebrew software), while other
programs just integrated a few rotors and tranceivers. ORBITRON is
still
free(Cardware).
> is there a better choice Maybe,
depends on what you look for and what you are willing to pay
for.
