I am new to SATPC32 still trying to set it up. How do you get the satellite list that I see on the left side of the screen.

[@cowtownarc-fortworth]

Yea, there are a few different things going on , but I think the item you are interested in is in the Menus... click the Tab called "Accy" (between "Programs" and "?") then select Countdown. That is the window on the left side showing the LOS/AOS of upcoming satellites. That list of satellites is from the list showing when you click the "Satellites" tab. I learned during Field Day, that if there is a satellite on your 'Countdown' list that doesn't show a time, it will cause the list to display incorrectly (the correct way is the satellites overhead or about to gain AOS are at the top, and the rest are in order by AOS time)

I want to know if you put green LEDs in your Yaesu controller, kind of cool.

[@cowtownarc-fortworth]

Not that I know about...I think that might be a video artifact... the display above it was too bright and the 5500 was too dim...So it is probably a reflection of the upper display making it look green. Quite a bit of video editing went into this to make it all readable. I will have to fire it back up and take a look.

@@cowtownarc-fortworth Well, informative video, I appreciate the effort. It helped me get started working sats and getting my rotator going.
