Use only the 9-9-17 03:33 UTC orb17252 2l amsat email or the data in the www amsat org website to update PCSAT32 The AMSAT-NA website data is now correct (as of 9-9-17 03:33 UTC)
The TLEs sent out on Friday 9-8-17 contained duplicate TLEs of five satellites and the data on the AMSAT-NA website was corrupted also This issue causes PCSAT32 to lockup
Space-Track introduced duplicates of five TLE sets in my 9-8-17 download for reasons unknown As this is a new problem, I did not catch it So my orb17251 2l amsat email was corrupted But, Space-Track is not doing that now (???) so I have re-done the KEPs I have issued orb17252 2l amsat (9-9-17 03:33 UTC) which has been tested and are OK
DK1TB's PCSAT notes to fix for this problem are under the "?" menu/FAQ/ "Error while loading file xxxx" (at the very bottom) in the PCSAT32 program
If you can't get PCSAT32 to load, briefly, you need to replace the file
Standard
Sat in C:\Users\
with an uncorrupted and older (check the file dates) copy of that file
maintained in (Don't change this file!)
C:\Users\
Note: the path that contains the "AppData" folder is usually hidden To make it visible, start Windows Explorer and click on "File", click on "Change folder and search options", and click on "View" Click on "Show hidden files, folder, and drives" You should now be able to find everything
Hope this helps Sorry for all the problems
