Jackie,
The repeater on ISS has not been active for some time. 145.825 MHz is
active for APRS packet. If you have a APRS enabled HT you can beacon
through ISS and also send messages. Alias of ARISS. Also if you get lucky
and find the astronauts active on the radio check 145.800 MHz with a 144.490
MHz uplink. A -1.31 offset. I will be on this pass as well.

Regarding the time difference, note that AMSAT has an arrangement with NASA
to get orbital information directly from the Johnson Space Center. AMSAT
predictions based on these data have proven to be extremely accurate over
the years - even with the narrow beamwidths of 2395 MHz HamTV antennas.
Other sites often get their data from other sources which can become out of
date in cases where the ISS adjusts its orbit.
Stick with AMSAT predictions and you will be in good shape.
And yes, this is exactly the right place for these kind of questions.

The ISS is large and relatively low, so it experiences a bit more
atmospheric drag than most satellites. They periodically raise the orbit,
which requires new orbital information. AMSAT updates the nasabare.txt
information for the ISS as required. So depending on the source of
information and when it was updated, you can get noticeable differences
between prediction sites and tracking programs. As JoAnne said, go with the
AMSAT site when in doubt.

When I first set up my groundstation, I was exclusively using Gpredict on a
Pi 3B+ to run my G5400b rotator (along with hamlib rotctld). No problems
whatsoever.

Also installed Gpredict for Buster. Went beyond just opening it up - this
RPi is at heart of my portable setup - using it with TH-D74A for downlink
and IC-706MKIIG for uplink controlled with Gpredict, Hamlib and via USB. At
some point i also did the build of the most recent Gpredict (there were
couple additions to the program not yet in the deb file) - once all
prerequisites were installed, built out went without any issues.
Just for those curious - TH-D74 required me to build Hamlib from source on
RPi as the one in the repository did not have support for this radio.
Gpredict is great program and in some way I like it even more than SatPC32.
The only feature it is missing is fine adjustments for VFO on the radio.
But I figured out how to work it.

Yes, it does have CAT support. Just need to make sure USB on D74 is not in
Mass Storage mode. Hamlib, like I said, most likely will need to be built
from source. The support is marked as Alpha. Don't have my raspberry up and
running at this time, but i believe it is 291 (or somewhere close - just
run "rigctl -l | grep TH-D74" to see if you have it) in Hamlib library. If
you have to rebuild Hamlib from source - you would need to enable build
option for ALL radios.
