For example:- + +SH/QRA IO92QL +SH/QRA JN06 IN73 + +The first example will show the distance and bearing to the locator from +yourself, the second example will calculate the distance and bearing from +the first locator to the second. You can use 4 or 6 character locators. + +It is also possible to convert a latitude and longitude to a locator by +using this command with a latitude and longitude as an argument, for +example:- + +SH/QRA 52 41 N 0 58 E + +=== 0^SHOW/SATELLITE [ ]^Show tracking data +Show the tracking data from your location to the satellite of your choice +from now on for the next few hours. + +If you use this command without a satellite name it will display a list +of all the satellites known currently to the system. + +If you give a name then you can obtain tracking data of all the passes +that start and finish 5 degrees below the horizon.
