Simon and all, I have been using V 4.1 Beta for a few months, and my sense is that all of the multitasking HRD requires is taxing the processor on my Acer Aspire One netbook beyond its capacity. I may be wrong about that, but I suspect that's what's going on.
Simon, please correct me if this is wrong - but I believe that V 4.1 (beta) requires that radios be connected to the main HRD suite, and then also connected to the Satellite Tracker, in order to provide computer control for Doppler tuning. If that is, indeed, the case, I wonder whether it's possible to enable Satellite Tracker's radio-related functions without connection to HRD? I suspect that if I was able to connect my radios directly to Satellite Tracker without using HRD, that the netbook might be able handle the load. I enjoy Satellite Tracker very much, but it has locked up my computer at the very worst of times (e.g., just a few seconds before acquisition of AO-7 when I had a schedule with EA8AVI in an attempt to add Africa to my continents-worked list). I chose the netbook for my ham radio use because of its size, and because it was bundled with Windows XP, not Vista. I fear that the decision has me comitted to a computer with a processor that may not have enough muscle to do everything HRD/Satellite Tracker asks it to do. Regardless ... thank you so much for all of your work on HRD and Satellite Tracker. HRD is an amazing suite of software. 73 to all, Tim - N3TL Athens, Ga. - EM84ha -------------- Original message from "Simon (HB9DRV)" <si...@hb9drv.ch>: -------------- > Hi, > > I guess it's something I've never really tried - will do so and fix. > > Simon Brown, HB9DRV > www.ham-radio-deluxe.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF" > > > Any idea why, if I select SHOW TRACKS/ALL the prog locks up when Orbitron > > is capable of displaying the same number (85) of sats without slowing? > > What is the maximun number we can sensibly display> > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
