Edit drop down box?


 

Is it possible for a user to edit the drop down box list of? the active satellites. I realize you can type a non listed name in the box. The new SO-124 satellite has been added to the ARRL list for LOTW credit. Will a new version of DXKeeper add it to the list in the "Propagation/Satellite/Name" dropdown?
Thanks <<John N4QWF

In the DXLab/DXKeeper/Databases folder there is a file named DefaultSatellites.txt

Virus-free.


 

From the Help file:

Defining Satellite Names:

<>

Edit DefaultSatellites.txt in DXKeeper\Databases to add your
custom satellites names and save the file as Satellites.txt
to prevent DXKeeper from overwriting it on the next update.

+ Yes, as Bob and Joe have pointed out, you can edit the file from which DXKeeper loads satellite names into its Satellite selectors, and then restart DXKeeper.

+ The next version of DXKeeper includes SO-124.txt in its DefaultSatellites.txt file, so it won't disappear when you upgrade.

+ The time between releases is a bit longer than usual as I'm extending DXKeeper and SpotCollector to provide realtime award tracking for the new IOTA HF and VHF award categories.
