Satellite catalogue update + map panel polish. NEW SATELLITES (3 — all confirmed in the CelesTrak amateur orbital-element feed) • Gemini-Pollux (NCKU, Taiwan) — a V/U data transponder and APRS digipeater with a 436.500 MHz downlink. • EMISAR (401.334 MHz digital messaging) and OPTISAT (400.360 MHz telemetry beacon) — receive-only curiosities for SDR listeners. Both transmit just below the 70 cm amateur band (400-401 MHz, the Space Operations band), so they are listen-only with an SDR — no uplink, no QSO — like the music-broadcast satellites. CATALOGUE FIX • LAPAN-A3 auto-fill corrected: its frequencies had been mistakenly copied from its sister satellite LAPAN-A2 (IO-86). LAPAN-A3 has no amateur voice repeater — its only signal is a 437.425 MHz telemetry beacon (receive-only) — and the auto-fill now reflects that. GRID LOCATOR MAP • The map info panel now shows a single tidy line — QTH, the distance to your live position, and your current grid ("You are here") — matching the Ham Logging companion. Any field not yet set shows a dash (e.g. before you save a QTH or get a GPS fix). • Fixed the info-panel text so it grows and shrinks with your Font Scale accessibility setting, like the rest of the app. 73 de A41UX
MoreGood morning Dave…. Wow, well thats a first, Have you pressed save after entering the API Key inside Setting Page? did prediction pages work? map loads Satellites? if it tells “you need an api key” its either Save all is not pressed for a new API Key, or you already consumed the 1000 free Api Key hits for an existing API Key.
Ham Satting tracks a wide variety of amateur radio satellites, including FM/SSB linear birds (like ISS, SO-50), digipeaters, SSTV + SSDV image birds, Weather LRPT satellites (Meteor-M N2-3 / N2-4), and Music Broadcast satellites.
No, Ham Satting is free of analytics, ads, and tracking, providing an uninterrupted user experience.
For each satellite pass, Ham Satting provides predictions with quality indicators (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor), details on Acquisition of Signal (AOS) and Loss of Signal (LOS), maximum elevation, duration, and azimuth.
Yes, Ham Satting features a full QSO logbook where you can record callsign, grid, mode, frequency (TX/RX), satellite, RST, distance, and bearing. It also supports exporting logs to ADIF, JSON, or CSV.
Ham Satting is available on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod, making it accessible across various Apple devices.
The app was last updated on June 24, 2026, with version 4.9.0, indicating a commitment to regular updates and new features.
Ham Satting has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a broad audience.
The Music Broadcast service allows you to receive short music tones transmitted by satellites as an RF identifier. For example, T.MicroSat-1 plays Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on 401.025 MHz.
