 Description 

K-Track is an KDE3 satellite prediction software, especially suited for radio amateurs operating through the satellites that are providing linear transponders.



Here are some key features of "K Track":


· Easy selection of the satellites

· Automatic Downlink / Uplink doppler correction

· Tuning with the vfo knob of your transceiver without worrying about the correct uplink frequency

· Supports a lot of Transceivers (everyone hamlib supports)

· Can turn your antennas automatically to the satellite

· Nice map displays (using xplanet)

· Can use your desktop background as map display instead of the program itself



What's New in This Release:


· Rewrote completly how the satellites get calculated internally

· Major update of the Radio Control interface

· Removed completly the xplanet wrapper code. Now we have our own Map implematation
