Ted, Nothing of the sort!! You said: "I'd like to keep it within the group of satellites that are in the "amateur.txt" Kep file if possible." It isn't possible right now, since AO-73 is still in the tel-new.txt file:
>>Les, I usually copy the keps I want from the tle-new file and paste them into the amateur keps file. The only problem with doing it that way is that you will have to manually add it every time you update your keps. >>Dave-KB1PVH Other than that, you will need to set it up using the tle-new.txt source files until it is eventually moved over to the amateur.txt. I have a group I call "New" for such satellites, though most people use the existing Diverse category. 73s, Alan WA4SCA <-----Original Message----- <From: Ted [mailto:k7trkra...@charter.net] <Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2013 3:15 PM <To: apbid...@mailaps.org; l...@highnoonfilm.com; amsat-bb@amsat.org <Cc: 'CC' <Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] Re: Adding AO-73 to SATPC32 and Nova <for Windows < <Alan, < <Are you suggesting that SATPC32 cannot be updated with the <various 'objects' <that keep popping up, For example, the Funcube web site <currently says they <believe that AO73 is actually object 2013-066AE.
