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!
