Track Button Not Visible on Evolve Laptop with PSR-100

[Kyle Krieg]

Hello,

Just discovered Sky Roof.  Great program.  I just purchased a PST-100 from WA4MCM Kits and got it working with the portable rotator.  

I'm using the program on my Evolve laptop which only has a 1300 x 700 res screen so there is some of the program cut off and not displayed in the window, mostly the current time box but also the "Track" box is not displayed which is a problem.  

Is there a way to make the coordinates a floating box or could be moved to somewhere else in the window so I can click the Track box for sats?  Or maybe make "track" a drop down menu so I could enable track there?

Thanks, 73

Hi Kyle ! Welcome to the group !

In your situation, you may be best to add a nice portable monitor. It looks better BIG ! Ultimately, after I found that dual-core processors were a no-go, I bought a quad-core laptop from Acer that works awesome.

I believe you’ll really like SkyRoof and just removes layers of complexity to SatComm. I really like how Alex taps into SatNogs for pulled data. Beats the heck out of manually putting in a frequency line in Doppler.SQF in SatPC32 !

Yeah, I'm trying not to add any complexity to the system for the portable setup.  The laptop runs the program fine. No issues with performance.  The evolve laptop is great because it's very small and compact. 

I think adding a "track" check to a drop down menu would solve the problem or make those sections dockable or moveable.  I"m not using the RF gain section, so that would solve the issue once you de-select the SDR feature, the RF section is removed and the AZ/EL screen with the track check box slides over. 

Thanks, 73

I can add a drop-down menu to the Rotator label on the status bar, similar to the Soundcard label's dropdown.

That would be awesome Alex!  Thank you!
