MTrack by Jonathan Naylor HB9DRD/G4KLX.
This is the Main Help File for version 0.2.3 -- 24 November 2000 by N0NB
mtrack is composed of three major areas in its window. Most prominent is
the map screen (default is the entire world on initial mtrack invocation)
on which you see the major land masses including major political boundaries.
Above the map is the menu bar (which you probably found to get this far :) )
from which you can customize the program for such things as which satellite to
view, your station's geographical location, color preferences, satellite
additions and updates, and even generate a text printout of satellite
visibility. The menu selections are as follows:
File
New Select a satellite to display
Tracking Table Generates a text tracking table
for the selected satellite
Updated Elements ?
Visibility Generates a table showing the
current azimuth and elevation
for each location in /var/mtrack/locfile
Exit Shutdown mtrack
Edit
Satellite
Add Add a new satellite's elements
Delete Remove a satellite's elements
Modify Change individual paramters of
a satellite
Import TLE Import a satellite file to update
various satellite elements?
Below the map is a window with various information regarding the satellite
selected for tracking.
Select the Help button in this window or "Help|Contents and Index" from the
main menu to learn more about the specific features of mtrack.
Enjoy!
