* Erich Eichmann DK1TB has released version 12.4 of the popular satellite tracking program SatPC32. The program has two significant new features. First is automatic internet download of Keplerian elements such as the amateur.txt file from celestrak.com. Second is an improved user interface for initial configuration of user location, radio and rotor interfaces, etc. The program may be downloaded from the author's personal web site:

Click the "downloads" button on the left frame, then choose the appropriate "SatPC32 Demo" version (9.7 MB download). The demo version is fully functional except that the user must enter their lat/lon every time when launching the program. If you already have a SatPC32 registration code you may use that code to make the 12.4 version fully functional. If you have never purchased SatPC32 you may purchase a registration code from the AMSAT online store:

DK1TB has generously donated SatPC32 to AMSAT-NA, AMSAT-UK, and AMSAT-DL. If you use SatPC32, please purchase a registration code from one of these groups.
All of the purchase price will go to support amateur satellite programs.
