It appears that the issue of satellite naming conventions may be coming to a
head quickly. Noted in the AMSAT Weekly News Service Bulletin:

https://celestrak.com/NORAD/documentation/gp-data-formats.php
<https://celestrak.com/NORAD/documentation/gp-data-formats.php>

This may force a revision to how SatPC32 handles Kep files?and perhaps
provide the opportunity to improve things in terms of updates.

Ideally, the software would keep any adjustments that have been made by the
operator for individual satellites but update when new birds are launched.

This subject isn't new and therefor SatPC32 already has the
AmsatNames.txt config file.

Look at the AmsatNames.txt in your SatPC32 config directory.

; This file contains the AMSAT names of actual amateur radio
; satellites. The auxiliary file SatRename evaluates this file
; to replace the satellite names used in Space-Track TLE
; data files with their AMSAT names.
;
; Column #1 contains the 5-digit "Identification Number" used in
; TLE files (data line #1, columns 3 - 7).
;
; Column #2 contains the satellite's 8-digit "International
; Designator" (data line #1, columns 10 - 17),
;
; Column #3 contains the satellite's AMSAT name.
;
; When a new satellie is available, it can be added to this list.
; Note, that the "Identification Number" and the "International
; Designator" must contain a fix number of digits.

Great news.  That functionality has been in SatPC32 for years.  Look at ? |
Auxiliary Files |AmsatNames.txt.  It does what you describe by allowing you
to define a name for a satellite to be used with a catalog number (or
international identifier) and substitutes your chosen name for all internal
operations such as the CTCSS tone, tracking priority, Doppler calculations,
etc.  Very handy since AMSAT, CelesTrak, Space-Track, and often the
individual satellite operators, use slightly different names.  It is also
handy when there is a "shotgun launch" and everybody is trying to sort out
which satellite matches which object number.  One change with each object
number, and you are ready.

Thanks for your input.


?Copying someone?s doppler.sqf file is also not a good idea! That file is
customized by someone based on the keps and satellite name they are using
and sometimes even specific for their location since SatPC32 lets you
adjust the doppler control based on your location and satellite and
internally adjust the doppler.sqf frequencies.?

Okay so send the matching TLE file when sending a custom Doppler.sqf file.
If they changed the name of the bird in the TLE to match the Doppler file,
than that TLE file should be made available. We do thank the ones that
provide the Doppler file but let?s make it make sense.

?The author of SatPC32 has spent thousands of hours working on this program
and he gets no financial return. He has donated the software to AMSAT and
still updates it for new radios and features! Complaining about that is
just not right!?

Umm, I paid for the software so I don?t know what this means. This group is
used to troubleshoot and ask questions about the program, among other
things, so that?s what?s being done here.

We?re at a time where everyone feels a need to add an opinion. That?s great,
I just ask that it?s helpful and productive.

Have a nice day everyone, 73

Ok, you can?t just send some TLE?s along with the SQF. TLE?s are dynamic,
some more than others, but still dynamic. One boost of ISS and what you had
yesterday is invalid today.

You might have paid for SatPC32 but the author gets nothing from it as far
as I?m aware. From my understanding the proceeds are a donation to AMSAT.

Could there be an interface for adding transponder details rather than using
a CSV file? Sure. Are people just lazy for not taking a few moments to
figure out how to add a line? Absolutely!

I?ve never used the program for tracking and tuning, it?s not my interest. I
did open the manual, figured out what each filed is and then worked up some
simple PHP (something I also don?t use) and made a page for the AMSAT site
for generating new lines. You can find it here
https://www.amsat.org/doppler-sqf-line-generator/

Seriously, this is a tech based hobby. We?re using spacecraft to communicate
with each other. It?s incredibly depressing to see so many people stumped by
a simple text file. That or they?re just too lazy to spend a minute to
figure it out. I also don?t want to hear ?I don?t have that much time to
devote to the hobby? as posted earlier. It literally takes longer to write a
post complaining than it does to read the 1 or 2 pages in the manual that
describe how to use it.

Don?t like the program? Don?t use it and find something else. Install
GPredict and use that. Don?t like certain features or feel something is
missing? It?s open source, take the time to help with development. Plenty of
people are devoting their time for everyone?s benefit with no monetary gain
yet there?s always complaints or a refusal to just open the manual, it
really isn?t that hard.

Alan,

I'm looking at the documentation and the format of the Doppler.SQF file.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something here, but what you're talking about
does not seem to be what I suggested.

Column 1 in Doppler.SQF is still the *name* of the satellite, rather than
the satellite number or international identifier or some other invariant
attribute of the satellite.

Does that name have to match up to what is in the TLE file, or what is in
the AmsatNames.txt file?

That is, if I am using the AmsatNames.txt file and define a custom name for
a given satellite, do the rest of my data files (other than the TLEs) then
need to be modified to use the name I defined in AmsatNames.txt? Does the
AmsatNames.txt file permit SatPC32 to ignore the name that my selected TLE
source is using for that same satellite?

Thanks in advance,

Devin,

Notice I said that the functionality is there, not the identical
implementation.  You need to call the satellite something.  While you could
certainly used the catalog name, something more user friendly is better.
See my replies below.

Correct.  The problem is that the various tle providers are not consistent
about that.  What you want to do is to be able to pick something, anything,
and then use whatever source you want without having to redefine several
files.
<
<Does that name have to match up to what is in the TLE file, or what is in
the

It needs to match whatever you have defined in AmsatNames.txt, as does the
name in the priority and tone files.

<
<That is, if I am using the AmsatNames.txt file and define a custom name for
a
<given satellite, do the rest of my data files (other than the TLEs) then

Yes.  One time operation.

Does the
<AmsatNames.txt file permit SatPC32 to ignore the name that my selected TLE
<source is using for that same satellite?
<

Yes, that is its purpose.  It substitutes your preferred name for all
internal operations.  IE, it completely ignores the 1st line of the 3 line
elements.

?Seriously, this is a tech based hobby. We?re using spacecraft to

write a post complaining than it does to read the 1 or 2 pages in the manual
that describe how to use it?

I don?t think that?s happening here. At least not by me.  I recognized that
a Doppler file I found on the internet, which was pretty robust and time
consuming for the person who put it together was really helpful, so I used
it. I?m new to pcsat32 but quickly learned that I had to edit the Doppler
file because of a mismatch in names from somewhere and I?m just learning
it?s from the TLE I was using which was nasabare.txt. I?m no stranger to the
function of a TLE file.

I also got up to speed with the AMSATnames.txt file. Okay great, it could be
useful but quickest solution was to edit Doppler.sqf. Which I did for most
of the sats I use but I was still thinking that if the original creator of
the Doppler file that I found has these sats matching up with a TLE file on
his computer, well then why don?t he post that as well. If I had that my
issue would be solved right? Sounds like I?m trying to use my brain, no? lol

I?ve come to this board to ask these questions in the past but they fell on
deaf ears. I basically solve my own problems and create solutions where
there isn?t any. It has nothing to do with anyone being lazy, at least for
me, I?m trying to figure out how to benefit from the file easily which
should really be a file copy and go. So if the creator made a amsatnames.txt
or changed the names in the nasabare.txt, if I had access to those files it
would be plug n play. Thats the IT guy in me, find the solution or path of
least resistance.

Btw GPredict is a great program but I got errors in reading position with my
g5500 usb interface and the radio control doesn?t change the modes on my
FT-847. I run it on a raspberry pi. I wouldn?t of purchased pcsat32 if it
weren?t for those issues but I?ve come to like pcsat32 for the old goat that
it is.

I did open the manual, figured out what each filed is and then worked up
some simple PHP (something I also don?t use) and made a page for the AMSAT
site for generating new lines. You can find it here

communicate with each other. It?s incredibly depressing to see so many
people stumped by a simple text file. That or they?re just too lazy to spend
a minute to figure it out. I also don?t want to hear ?I don?t have that much
time to devote to the hobby? as posted earlier. It literally takes longer to
write a post complaining than it does to read the 1 or 2 pages in the manual
that describe how to use it.

GPredict and use that. Don?t like certain features or feel something is
missing? It?s open source, take the time to help with development. Plenty of
people are devoting their time for everyone?s benefit with no monetary gain
yet there?s always complaints or a refusal to just open the manual, it
really isn?t that hard.
