One thought would be to copy and use the keps from any geostationary
satellite visible from your location. At least the Doppler would not be
shifting.

Subject: [amsat-bb] SarPC32 and local repeater
Since I use the same radio (Icom IC-910H) for both satellite and local
UHF/VHF repeaters, I’d like to be able to have SatPC32 automatically
switch over the radio to satellite mode when a satellite is in view, and
switch back to the repeater after LOS.
I seems it should be possible to use “Automatic sat change ON” and have a
dummy satellite in the satellite list configured to a local repeater. When
a real satellite comes into view, SatPC32 would switch to that and when no
real satellites are in view, the dummy satellite (repeater) would become
active.
My first idea would be to have the dummy satellite in the lowest satellite
priority, and a dummy keps entry which would have the dummy satellite
always in view. However, I don’t know how to construct such a keps
element.
Perhaps there is a more elegant way. Suggestions?
