Are you saying that it is more than the COM number just changing, as
Windows is wont to do capriciously? I guess I'd just plug and unplug the
USB/serial and see which COM port appears and disappears.

Thanks for your reply. The computer says the USB to serial is on Com 3 and
the SatPC32 program says it can?t find Com3. Maybe the chip in it is working
but there could be a problem in the circuit going to the radio. I have been
using that setup since 2010. Maybe another part let the smoke out. I do see
on the internet that Win 10 does not like USB to serial. I take the box
apart tomorrow (USB to Serial) and look. It is ironic that it worked
yesterday on Win 7!

There is a particular USB/serial chipset whose driver was removed from
Win10 as I recall. But I would think that if that were the problem you
could not see COM3 at all.
Try running SatPC32 as administrator. It might be that COM3 is protected
against unprivileged access. I'm no Windows guru, so I could not tell you
how to fix this, but give it a try to find out if that is the problem at
least.

I had lots of problems like this when I upgraded to 10 with the usb/serial
port
cable. In the end I got a new one that used a FTDI Chip and after I
installed
the driver it worked like it should. Windows 10 did not like what I was
using I
guess.

I just noticed this with two different sats. I got a screencap of it too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK9IkhltFJ4
ISS is in view, and while it is in view CountDown doesn't show an
upcoming 65 degree ISS pass that should be between SO-50 and AO-91 in
the middle of CountDown. After ISS goes out of view the 65 degree pass
pops up where I expect it to be the whole time.
Watch the local time at 20:23:38, about 10 seconds into the video.
Is there a setting to allow multiple passes from the same sat or is
this a bug/feature request situation?

It would be nice to replace Countdown with WinAos, or at least make WinAos
attach to the main window like Countdown does.

Hi John,
It?s the way it works. No way to change that I know about. Think of it
this way?it is showing the pass, now, but on the main screen. Next pass
isn?t until the current one is over, so then it pops up and is visible.

It makes some sense.
What happened was I already identified a pass on ISS Detector on my phone
and I wanted to keep track of it on my PC, so when I loaded SatPC32 up and
didn't see it but CountDown had all the other same sats in the same order
as ISS Detector, except the one I was interested in, I was a
little confused.
I still don't see a problem with showing both/all passses! So I submit this
as a Request For Enhancement :-)

Greetings everyone ,
After a bit of a hiatus, I will back on the FM sats from CM94 this weekend.
On a holiday schedule, planning to work AO-92 and AO-91 around 10:05 and
10:35 respectively. More to come tomorrow
73,
