Today I started receiving a data import failed error when downloading all satellite data. My local drives are all attached and functioning. Any ideas what would cause this?

Satellite data import fails because the JE9PEL file on www.ne.jp is broken, one of its records is truncated:

http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/satslist.csv

I will add code to skip the bad records and import the rest. I hope the error in the file will also be fixed soon.

Experiencing same problem. Fresh install won't start up due to failing satellite data import.

Hi, Alex!

May be after Christmas you will be able to fix it, right?

Has anyone tried importing the sat data from another source? Say like Amsat, using the links that are in SatPC32? DE AI4LL

I am working on the fix, will release it soon. Note, however, that this will be a work around, the actual error is in the JE9PEL satellite list and should be fixed there. You should be asking the author of that list to fix the error.

Thanks Alex!

Meanwhile, i contacted Mineo, JE9EL to fix the problem in his sat list.
