Hi Jean-François Thanks for your suggestions. Still not working. I have even moved the doppler.sql file from the DATA_Repair directory. Also I have removed all the entries except one, just in case there is an error in one of the lines I am not using. My Doppler.SQF file is shown below.
I'm at my wits end. Maybe I should reinstall the program, but there's no ununstall function, so I'm not sure if that would be a good idea? What do you think? 73 Jim Here'e my Doppler.SQF file ; For Hints look at the end of this file. ; Do not remove or modify these first ; 3 lines of the file, starting with ';'! FO-29,435850.45,145951.55,USB,LSB,REV,0,0 ; ; Hints ; This file contains all data required for the CAT tuning to operate. CAT tuning ; only works for satellites whose frequencies are contained in the file. ; To use the program's tuning functions during Vfo operation, these data are also ; needed. ; It is essential not to modify the file format, when you edit the file. ; Be careful not to add blanks or blank lines. For decimal markers, the point ; has to be used. ; To add another satellite, copy one of the lines, insert the copy into the ; data section, then modify it for the new satellite. ; ; Each line has to contain the following parameters: ; The name of the satellite, the spelling has to be the same as in the Keplerian ; source file. ; the receive- and transmit frequencies in kHz, ; the Up- and Downlink modes, possible entries: FM,FMN,CW,CWN,USB,LSB, ; the frequency trend of the satellite (normal or reverse), possible entries: NOR, REV ; the converter and transverer offset frequencies in kHz ; ; As a general rule, all 7 parameters have to be present, even if some of them ; are irrelevant for a particular satellite. In that case the unused data may ; have any value. ; ; Each line may contain a short comment at it's end, see the examples in ; the data lines for AO-51. The comment must be separated by a comma from ; the last parameter entry. ; ; If the receiving frequency is the only one needed (UO-11), the transmitting ; frequency has to be set to 0. ; Converter and transverter offsets also have to be 0, if no converter or ; transverter is needed for the satellite concerned. ; For satellites using multiple frequencies or frequency pairs, the name has to ; be repeated each time. At program start, the first file encountered for a specific ; satellite will be used. By editing the file, you should therefore pay attention ; to put the most used frequency as a first entry in the list. ; ; For more detailed informations read the manual, section 'Auxiliary files', ; 'Doppler.SQF'. For more detailed informations about converter/transverter ; operation read the FAQ.htm, section 'Converter/Transverter Operation'. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jean-François Ménard [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 03 August 2009 20:08 > To: Jim Heck; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] SAT PC H e e e lp! > > > Ho yes.... probably easier to solve that way.
