Having done so and been rebuffed, I'm not inclined to do so again - even
if I had the time to do so. Any time I spend on computery amateur radio
stuff is given over to writing some APRS software for Linux, an area
which is sadly lacking (although Windows isn't much better).

From HRD Satellite Tracking, click Satellite
From the window that opens, click the Kepler Data tab
From it's gidgets, click Add File
From the box that pops up, select your elements file.
Tick the Enable box for that file and untick all others.
Click Download Now.
It should update your definitions from the kepler file.
Attached is my current file.

This looks like it works, thanks to Jeremy. A simple solution, a simple
response, perfect. I did like everyones sarcasim and opinions as well, but I
was really just looking to get HRD to do its thing all by itself.
Thanks again Jeremy I know I am not the smartest kid on the block but I do
know what love is Jenny. (Forest Gump, get it?) Lame I know.

No problem Kevin. I dont rely on HRD sat tracker much but after seeing your
message on the board I did some investigating to see what the problem actually
was. My HRD sat tracking was lagging like yours for the ISS, I closed it and
tried running as administrator and uploading keps and nothing changed. By
chance I changed my keps on satpc32 from celestrak to amsat and the ISS was
predicted to be the same position as HRD. That is how I came across the
remedy
for HRD, but when I eliminated the amsat site for keps downloads, all it
showed
was the moon no matter what sat I selected, so I shut down sat tracker and
restarted and everything worked like it should. And before Alan asks again,
my
callsign is AB9RU, and thanks again Alan for your satpc32 doppler file, and
Kevin good luck hunting packet QSO's on the ISS digi

Hello everyone,
Is there a program or script that could automate the creation of a custom
keplerian element list that includes satelites that i?m only interested in,
from data from either either spacetrack or celestrack?
My idea is to create something similar to the list that AMSAT publishes but
more specific to my needs, meaning that there are some sats in there that I
don?t care about.
I tried the TLEretriever but no cigar there, at least for the purpose in
sight.

You should be able to take the AMSAT keps and delete the lines for the
birds you do not want, save the result with the same name. Then reload
that into your program and go.
Good luck

I used to use a program called NASAWASH. You set up a "mysats" file that
specifies which birds you are interested in, and then you can set up a batch
file that will automatically parse whatever input file you specify (like
nasa.all) and output the filtered results to the filename and location that
you specified.
Looks like it's still available in the AMSAT software archive at
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/software/PC/util/nasawash.zip

I'm the author of NASAWASH. It doesn't have that feature, though it would be
a good starting point for a C programmer wishing to create such a program.
If somebody added that feature already, I'm not aware of it (and the version
on the AMSAT web/ftp site doesn't include it). Perhaps you're thinking of
some other program you used in conjunction with NASAWASH?
If you have (or install yourself) a reasonably standard "grep" program (such
as the one at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm ) you can
write a simple batch file script like this, assuming that you've already
downloaded the elements from your favorite source to a file named inputfile:
nasawash inputfile nasabare.txt
grep -A 2 AO-51 nasabare.txt >mynasa.txt
grep -A 2 FO-29 nasabare.txt >>mynasa.txt
grep -A 2 AO-07 nasabare.txt >>mynasa.txt
grep -A 2 SO-67 nasabare.txt >>mynasa.txt
The "-A 2" tells grep to output the matching line and two lines following.
The NASAWASH step is optional if the file you download contains nothing but
the element sets.
