Explanation Please - Satellite Passes
Greetings,
Looking at NOAA 18. The large map information agrees with Orbitron, so two programs agreeing is great!.
However the popup map, doesn't agree with the main map. The AOS values are different between the two maps, So I am obviously not understanding the purpose of the popup map. Please clarify.
Is there a way to show more passes (say the current plus the next 2) on the main map?
Also, I would love to see along side the AOS at the top of the main map, the LOS as well. Then visually one has both important times clearly visible. I presume AOS is calculated based on crossing the horizon and not some set minimum elevation.
Thanks very much.
Regards,
George

Another Question Area 1:
I was under the impression that when one clicks on a satellite push button, that the frequency of the radio would change and SDRC would show that frequency/ I don't see that happening. How do I implement that feature?
Then. what is the method to get the radio to start changing frequency (Doppler shift being applied as the satellite goes over my area?
Another Question Area 2:
See the attached picture. Why doesn't the popup and the main map's footprint cover the same area? Why don't the times match?
What I guess I need is a video or more detailed instructions on how the satellite portion of SDRC works. It looks liker there is wonderful capability here. I just need some help getting it figured out. So far I haven't found a video that has been of any help to me.
Thanks,
George

If two conditions are met:
1. Automatic Schedule is OFF
2. You double click on the pass list , then the frequency should change to match the satellite you have selected.
2nd Question:
It does match, just a different view based on scale.. Both show AO-7 in the same location, just a different perspective due to zoom level.
