Keps and Wisp Database!!

It seem to be an old problem with keps updating and Wisp.

My solution :-
1- Deleting the old wisp keps file.
2- Update only the keps for the satellite you want to use.eg AO-51,GO-32,HO-68
No need for the other sats at database file.
3- Prepate the keps for the satellites you want to use in a Notepad text file.

Here the advice of Mr. Howard Long and Mr.Mineo.

o Shut down Wisp
o Rename the Wisp.kep file to something else (just in case)
o Restart Wisp.
o For each satellite which was previously scheduled, you will get an error
"GSC cannot find satellite xx-xx in the keplarian database....".
OK each message.
o Re-import the keps (Database -> Update Satellite Database)
o Shutdown Wisp
o Restart Wisp
o Tracking -> Redo Schedule

1. Delete 'C:\wisp\WiSP Schedule.DAT' and 'C:\wisp\WiSP.KEP'
2. Run GSC.EXE
3. Then you will get an error message:
'GSC cannot find satellite ... in the keplerrian database'
OK each messages.
4. GSC - Database - Update Satellite Database
and import the right TLE file.
5. GSC - Setup - Satellite Setup - (satellite) - Edit - OK
Do it each satellites.
6. GSC - Tracking - Redo Schedule
