If you like predict, you owe it to yourself to look at John's patched
copies of 2.2.1: their UI improvements are quite fine.

Apropos the recent discussion about track boxes based around a small pc,
I'd love to build a tiny dedicated machine around linux/predict. Does
anyone have any successful experience using the linear transponder features
in 2.2.2 to implement full doppler tuning? Ideally, the client program
would be able to use the UDP connection to request uplink frequencies
corresponding to a given downlink. Then it would be pretty easy to use the
hamlib libraries to control various radio hardware.
