NAME¶
predict-g1yyh - satellite tracking program
DESCRIPTION¶
The
predict-g1yyh program is a variant on the
predict satellite
tracking program that includes patches from John Heaton, G1YYH, that add new
functionality. This man page documents only the features that differ between
predict and
predict-g1yyh. See the
predict man page for
information on the features of the program that are not described here!
The user may step forwards/backwards through the satellites in the Single-Sat
display using the '+' and '-' keys, and may remove blank entries from the
Selector page.
MultiSat has been reformatted to display upcoming passes below the satellites in
view. Using the 'i' and 'k' keys you can toggle between distances in Imperial
or Kilometres. Using the 'l' and 'm' keys you can toggle between displaying
the normal latitude/longitude or Maidenhead locators for the sub-satellite
location.
The SingleSat display allows use of the arrow keys to change the frequency
up/down and to move to the next/previous satellite using left/right arrows.
A new method of selecting satellites is implemented. Instead of pressing a
character next to a satellite name, a scrolling menu is provided. This means
that the program is now capable of handling a much larget list of satellites,
currently a maximum of 250.
Finally, the height of the terminal window containing predict can be increased
dynamically if you want to display more information than will fit on an 80x24
terminal window!
