The auto-track function in Gpredict is not very smart. It will just pick the first transmitter in the list. The frequency database must have been updated with more entries, so now the default transmitter is different. Eventually, this will have to be fixed in Gpredict, for now:

  1. You could have a module with NOAA-15 only and keep the radio control window open, or
  2. Edit the transmitter data file and remove the ARGOS entry (I can tell you how if want to try this option)

I can only check on Windows 7 at this time. Hopefully Windows 10 is very similar…

In your home directory, where you also have Downloads, documents, musics, etc, there is a directory called Gpredict. This is where the user configuration and data is stored. The transponder data is stored in the trsp directory.

for example, my user name is Alex, so the directory is:
C:\Users\Alex\Gpredict\trsp

noaa-15-trsp
noaa-15-trsp797Ă—508 93.9 KB

Open the file 25338.trsp with a plain text editor and editr as you wish. You can move the APT entry to be the first one.

Note that the changes you make will be overwritten the next time you run “Update transponder data” so perhaps you should keep a copy of your edited file for later reference.
