Default SatcoDX software

Just came across this software - looks very useful. I am not sure if you guys are using it already but it is the first time I saw it.
It needs registration key, which is published in Tele-Satellite magazine every month. And you can download the full magazine (two issues back from current one).

Yes, it's not bad. Some of us have it installed. The dishtrack utility is quite handy, but you have to take the estimated dish-size requirements with a large pinch of salt.

In some cases I've seen, yes - ridiculously so (for fringe-reception, at least). IIRC they suggested a 7m dish for my location to receive Nilesat!
