SatPC32 ver 12.7 released

SatPC32 version 12.7 has been released by Erich Eichmann, DK1TB.

What's new in verions 12.7:

1. The program now comes with additional sets of 2D and 3D physical world maps. Via mouse click the user can switch  between political and physical maps.
   
   
2. The political 2D world maps have been updated. Now they show the border lines of the successor states of the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia.
   
   
3. The programs (SatPC32, SatPC32ISS and Wisat32) now support rotor steering with the Italian rotor system ProSistel.
   
   
4. The "Uplink Calibration" feature has been expanded. With previous versions this function could only be used with
   "normal" SSB satellites (SSB on Uplink and Downlink). Now it also works with mixed-mode satellites (Uplink: SSB, Downlink:FM). Sometimes AO-51 is using this mode.
   
   The "Uplink Calibration" function allows users to automatically calibrate the Uplink frequency for best audio pitch of their downlink signal and to save the change. With future program starts the user will then immediately hear his own downlink when he switches to that satellite, without the necessity to tune around and produce QRM.
   
   Important: With SSB/FM satellites the SatPC32 control "V" must be switched to "V+" before the "Uplink Calibration" function can be used.
   
   
5. The programs (SatPC32, SatPC32ISS,Wisat32) no longer use the IOPort.SYS driver for port access. This driver doesn't work on 64-bit systems. So, no special version of these programs is necessary for 64-bit systems.
   The driver was used to steer the German rotor interface IF-100.
   
   Since direct steering of this Interface by SatPC32 is no longer possible the update includes a little server program similar to the rotor driver files for the other interfaces and controllers supported by SatPC32.  
   
   The new IF-100 server program is only functional with 32-bit systems.  The other rotor interfaces and controllers - except the FodTrack interface and the KCT-Tracker - are supported with 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
   
   
6. Some minor improvements have been made with SatPC32ISS, WinAOS and WinListen.
