Hi all!
At my favorite electronics store there are NMEA gps with enclosed antenna
units for sale. Garmin 17N. Check out the web for specs but the lowdown is
they need 12Vdc and report TTL rs232 over a pair of wires. Cost $6 plus
shipping.
Email me by noon Eastern if you want one. Shipping should be 6-7$$

You can select multiple TLE files to load at once and just choose the
satellites you want to view. All you need to do is click on Load TLE, then
click on first group and then hold Ctrl+C while clicking on any other
group you want to load. When you have selected the groups you want, just
click open and they will all load. Unfortunately you'll have a ton of
satellites in the list, but at least you won't need to manually update a
list that you created.

Norm,
There are some programs to sort and filter Keps here:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php
Over time, as version of Windows have changed, they have stopped working on
at least some of my
machines. For instance, SORTNENG will not work on my WIN7 machine with an
AMD chipset, but works on
my other WIN7 machine with an Intel chipset.
I have a batch file which does a lot of filtering and copying to different
directories. To accomplish
a merge and sort, I merge with a simple:
COPY AMATEUR.TXT+TLE.TXT+CUBESAT.TXT KEP.NEW
Than I sort them using a technique which Paul, KB5MU suggested, using GREP.
If you don't have it on
your computer, there are lots of free versions.
GREP -A 2 AO-07 KEP.NEW > %1
GREP -A 2 AO-16 KEP.NEW >> %1
GREP -A 2 AO-27 KEP.NEW >> %1
GREP -A 2 FO-29 KEP.NEW >> %1
etc
erc
The %1 is a file name which I pass to the batch file, but you could easily
hard code it. You MAY have
a problem with some tracking programs if the same satellite appears in more
than one list.
73s,
Alan

Sounds like the sort of thing that could be easily written in something like
Python that will work across all platforms.
If it uses Windows or other proprietary software, it's not really amateur
radio.

Hi Andrew,
Not for ISS AX25 packet here. But I am currently using Orbitron plus

Gordon,
Most of these programs date back to the DOS and OS/2 days. At one point I
started on a Python program
which would:
Read and clean multiple Kep files.
Remove duplicates, selecting the most recent.
Rename objects to the AMSAT standard names.
Sort the order of the objects.
Write a file with only selected objects.
I think I got half of the first line done before moving on to another, more
urgent project. :) On my
To Do list after I retire, for the 4th time.
73s,
Alan

I made a letter spike for storing the bits of paper with ideas for things,
so that I could stack them and do them once the important stuff that pushed
them aside was done.
However, I live on the flight path of downwind leg for runway 23 at Glasgow
International, and the CAA made me put a light on the top.

I was just wondering if the AO-40 LNBs connected to a Funcube dongle (and a

If so, that should be a project that could show AOS/LOS , power levels etc,

Hi Andy
In a word..NO...the signal even without any actual video content is still
around 2MHz wide.
If you have simple rtl type dongle you might be able to see the signal tho

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
It has been asked here a time or two recently what methods can be
utilized to generate custom TLE sets. Some focused on how to
manipulate files while I offer a suggestion for downloading a custom
set tailored to the satellites you seek to observe.
The method I utilize is via the website Space-Track.org. There you
can define favorites lists containing the satellites you desire to
track. From the Favorites list you can then retrieve a custom set of
TLE based on the list you create.
You can create multiple Favorites lists containing satellites that
suit your fancy. I have two lists created; one for inactive
satellites I occasionally monitor and one for active transponder
satellites.
Visit https://www.space-track.org and follow directions. The site is
fairly straightforward to utilize and works fine in Internet Explorer,
Chrome, and Firefox..

I will be operating on the satellites as W1AW/0 from the state of Minnesota
(Grid EN34) from 0000z on Jan. 29th through 2359z on Feb. 4th.
Operating times will be evenings and on Sunday, as work permits. I will
