AMSAT PROGRAM AVAILABILITY NOTICE 1. ORBITS 2 - For IBM PC/XT/AT, 256K RAM, IBM Color Graphics Adapter and Display (CGA), 5.25 inch floppy disk drive, and DOS 2.0 or later. $35 members/$45 non-members. 2. ORBITS 3 - Functionally equivalent to ORBITS 2 (above) but has been designed for use with the IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter and Display (EGA). $45 members/$55 non-members. 3. N4HY QUIKTRAK 3.2 - For IBM PC/XT/AT, 256K RAM, 5.25 inch floppy drive and DOS 3.0 or later. CGA is needed for only one of the myriad of functions which is the map display routine. An 8087 math coprocessor is not needed, but the program will run much faster with one. $70 members/$90 non-members. 4. QUIKTRAK FOR IBM - For those IBM owners that do not have graphics capabilities (see APPLE QUIKTRAK). $25 members/$35 non-members. 5. C-64 SUPERTRAC - This is a combination of N4HY's Quiktrak program and enhanced graphics. This program provides sharp, clear and colorful graphics with excellent scheduling flexibility. The program also has the ability to drive commercially available dual axis rotors. Disk only. $30 members/$40 non-members. 6. APPLE QUIKTRAK - Menu driven program for tracking and scheduling of amateur satellites. Incorporates a very fast algorithm for finding usable passes of the satellite of your choice. Satellite pointing angles relative to your own QTH and a "Window Track" mode are included. The "Window Track" feature identifies mutual "Windows" between your QTH and other specified locations around the world. Includes menu driven utilities for data entry. Requires an 80 column card and 64K RAM. $25 members/$35 non-members. 7. MACTRAK - Written by W7HR, this program provides tabular data output of tracking and scheduling information for up to 10 satellites. Graphic displays include rectangular, polar,and great circle world maps, and there is a VIEW mode which shows earth as seen from the satellite at any time. A real-time mode will show data as it changes and is compatible with the KLM/Mirage antenna tracking interface. Data can be displayed on the screen or output to the Imagewriter printer. A propagation prediction package is also included which will calculate the maximum usable frequency (MUF) to any point, sunrise and sunset times, bearings and distances, and the gray-line. MACTRAK requires a 512K or larger MacIntosh with a double-sided (800K) disk drive, and an Imagewriter printer. $40 members/$50 non-members. 8. C-128 - This is the ORBITS program that is specifically written to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the C-128. ORBITS uses time-based incrementing with user-selected increments of time. This results in uniform time increments between data lines. The ORBITS program features automatic page formatting and pagination. As many as 20 satellites may be entered into Keplerian files. It requires an 80 column monitor and a Commodore compatible printer. $30 members/$40 non-members. 9. COMMODORE AMIGA - Designed for the AMIGA operating in 80 column mode. Requires a minimum of 256K RAM. Translated to AmigaBasic, it rums under Workbench V1.1 or 1.2 and has the same features as the C-128 ORBITS program but runs considerably faster. Has provision for mode and phase programming to alert you as to which transponder is active. Supplied on 3.5 inch disk. $30 members/$40 non-members. 10. QUIKTRAK for TRS-80 Model 4/TRSDOS 6.0 - This is the N4HY QUIKTRAK program modified to run on the Model 4. $30 members/$40 non-members. *************************************************************************** The W3IWI Tracking Program is available for the following computers. Each program provides all the data needed for tracking satellites, space shuttles, etc. in an easily understandable tabular form. All are $25 for members and $35 for non-members. 11. TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER - 32k, extended BASIC, cassette only. 12. TRS-80 MODEL 3 - 32k, one disk drive. 13. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TI99/4A - Cassette only. 14. ATARI 400 & 800 - Disk only. 15. HEATHKIT H-89 - CP/M,MBasic, 5.25 inch drive. H-17 hard-sectored disk also available. Please specify. 16. HP-41 PROGRAMMABLE CALCULATOR - ORBIT 1 - This program will output AZ and EL in real-time or all W3IWI parameters in the prediction mode. Special requirements: HP-41C + QUAD Memory, HP-41CV, HP-41CX, Card Reader (desirable but not essential). ORBIT II - The same as ORBIT I with the addition of functions from the Time Module for output of time and input from the time clock in real time-mode. Please specify ORBIT I or ORBIT II. 17. UOSAT-OSCAR 9/OSCAR 11 DATA CAPTURE, EDITING AND TELEMETRY DECODING PROGRAM FOR IBM-PC - A brilliant piece of work by Bob Diersing and his co- author Aaron Brown. One program does the data collection and another does the tedious chore of automatically editing the data for clean frames. Includes an outstanding manual to accompany these programs. $35 members/$45 non-members. ****************************************************************************** PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS ORBITS 2 - A compiled program providing the following features: 1) Real-Time satellite tracking in either a tabulated mode or in a graphics presentation of a world map upon which the satellites are moved. Up to eight satellites can be tracked in this mode. The map is presented in a single color of the user's choice on a black background. A single satellite can be selected and an acquisition circle will be drawn around that satellite showing its coverage. All 8 satellites will continue being moved in real-time in this mode. 2) Automatic control and tracking of antenna azimuth and elevation rotors when using the Kenpro KR-5400A/5600A rotors and the Kenpro computer interface. This feature can be disabled by the user for those cases where not needed. 3) Batch output for a single satellite for selected periods and update intervals. Can be presented either on the screen or printer. 4) Keplerian Elements can be entered into the file for use by the Batch output function. Only the first 8 satellites will be tracked in the real-time function however. 5) Ground station geographical data is entered under program control. The user can also choose how the map is presented on the screen, centered at 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees longitude. 6) Extensive prompting is used throughout, including error routines to protect against improper or invalid input in response to prompts. Operating instructions are contained in a documentation file which can be printed by the user. N4HY QUIKTRAK 3.2 - This program is a many featured satellite tracking and usage planning package. 1) It supports many antenna rotator packages. 2) It has a standard interface for control of radios through the serial interface for ICOM, Kenwood, YAESU, and others. 3) It will gather telemetry using interupt driven serial port device drivers written for the CBBS and WA7MBL Packet BBS system. 4) Has graphics display routine which shows one satellite and the sunline and range circle, and time to AOS or LOS. It also has a graphics mode that displays all satellites in the Keplerian file on the map. 5) It tracks one satellite for many given cities. 6) It tracks all the satellites for your QTH and gives AOS, LOS information for all of them. 7) It has a dumb terminal emulator. 8) It displays Equator crossing or apogee times and locations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORDER FORM Program Desired/Computer Type________________________________________________ Enclosed find my check for $_________ OR Charge my Visa or MasterCard________ Card No. _______________________________________ Exp.
