WiSP UPDATES
------------

GSC 
-----

1.  New map option feature -  Click on the map button in the GSC window.
Then select Tracking from the map menu bar.  You will notice an Options 
item in the drop down menu.  These options in the past, included the Ground 
Track and Sun Terminator.  The Acquisition Circle has been added to these 
options.

You can select these options for Normal and/or Fast speed for the satellite 
being tracked.

  N=Normal speed
  F=Fast speed

You can check the boxes to select any combination of these options for 
both Normal and Fast speed.

2. The Rotor Setup has a new item, EasyComm.  Basically it outputs the 
following string to the specified com port every 2 seconds or so:

AZaaa.a ELee.e UPuuuuuuuuu mm DNddddddddd mm

Where - aaa.a is the desired rotor azimuth in degrees.
      - ee.e  is the desired rotor elevation in degrees.
      - uuuuuuuuu is the desired uplink frequency in Hz.
      - ddddddddd is the desired downlink frequency in Hz.
      - mm is the desired radio mode, i.e. FM, SSB, etc.
      Note:  The number of integers in the a, e, u, m and d values is 
             variable.  For example mm could be FM, SSB, etc.

This feature is designed for the benefit of the users who have their own
home brew antenna/radio controllers.  It may not be 100% tested yet, but 
at least one station is using it in a beta test.



VIEW-DIR
---------

1. The problem of the shrinking size of the View-Dir window has hopefully
been fixed in this version.
