[amsat-bb] WiSP saving parameters

["Mark D. Johns" <mjohns@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Satellite Freqs.
         I'm trying to get my satellite station up and running again after 
a long hiatus. I've resurrected an old Pentium I machine running Windows98 
and have plugged in my old Kansas City Tracker board and installed the DOS 
software. I downloaded the updated version of WiSP from the AMSAT web site 
and installed it. All seems to be in order on the computer end. I found the 
cable that goes between the KCT/T and my Emotator 700 rotor, and I've gone 
to WiSP's station setup pulldown.  My callsign, latitutude, longitude and 
altitude all saved properly. Then I went to the Rotator tab and set up 
Level 1 for the KCT/T, then clicked the Setup button. I enter the rig, port 
parameters, etc. and go through the rotor calibration (KCT is reading the 
rotor OK), but as soon as I click OK, everything goes back to the default 
position. I lose the rig, port set up, rotor calibration, 
everything.  There's no error message.  It simply will not save any of my 
setup parameters. I've tried repeatedly.
         I seem to vaguely recall that there is no DAT file for this 
information, but that the rig, ports, and rotor settings are saved 
somewhere as keys in the registry. And I seem to vaguely recall this 
happening before, in a previous satellite lifetime, and there was an easy 
fix. But I don't recall what it was (old age is grand that way). In any 
case, does anyone know this problem and how is it fixed? Thanks in advance.
