[amsat-bb] Orbitron Help ?

2011-12-10 Thread John Heath
Hi Orbitron users. I find the simulation feature is very useful but I can't find out how to pause it.  Does anyone have the required key strokes, or is that feature not included in the software.   Thanks   John G7HIA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Sorry I meant the Stations Heard via ISS I know about logging in to the Maildrop. Did not get in on the pass I mentioned before, but I did hear some packets. Did not come through on my screen anyway. Can we get another clarifacation on the path? FAST1 or FAST-1? I saw KO6TH was trying and K8TL

Hi John, G7HIA when you are in simulation mode, over the clock (on the right of Orbitron page) you have AUTO-FWD, if you clik on this , it changes in AUTO-BCK (the simulation go back in the past), if you click again, it changes in AUTO-OFF and the simulation stops. Best 73 Fernando - IW6OVD.

So the only reason we get to use it is to wear down the batteries in hopes of a hard reset. Then what they turn the digipeater back off? Again, demeaning what others are doing accomplishes nothing positive. From inception, through design, and since Launch, the FAST1 team has always said

The problem was that the window was off screen AND the move option wasn't available, all that was available was minimize, or x close. Try right clicking on the satps32 in the taskbar, then try an alt space bar. The observer two window comes up with the move option, and that is what will move

Hi All, Thanks for the QSOs during my short trip to Michigan this past week. We were on a brief family getaway and satellite comm was a secondary activity as usual. ;-) EN75 is not an extremely rare grid, but I believe at least 5-6 ops were able to add it to the new grid list. I have
