            - New - General - Name                GO-32
                              Satellite Type      PacSat
                              Broadcast Callsign  4XTECH-11
                              BBS Callsign        4XTECH-12

    In case of FalconSAT-3, input Broadcast Callsign = PFS3-11, and
    BBS Callsign = PFS3-12.

    Because the box of "Scheduling - Pragram" is the blanks when you chose
    "Analogue" in "Satellite Type", you must add "C:/wisp/MSPE.EXE %S".

    Input the priority of the satellite in "Scheduling Priority".

    GSC - Setup - Satellite Setup - Satellites - Edit - 
    MSPE Settings, check below.

            Update Keps from broadcast
            Uploading enabled
            Log KISS frames
            Log Telemetry frames
            Grab all heard files
            Brock ALL BBS files
            Acknowledge receipt
            Load View-Dir at start of pass
            Close View-Dir at end of pass     etc.

    And click "OK - Close", then GSC will schedule the satellite.

    When the scheduling is not automatically displayed on GSC, try the following 21
    after deletion "C:/wisp/WiSP Schedule.DAT" and "C:/wisp/WiSP.KEP"

20. Close GSC once last, and open again GSC so that WiSP.KEP and WiSP Schedule.DAT
    becomes the update date. After doing so it, "GSC - Tracking - Redo Schedule".

21. How to reset WiSP.KEP:

    (1) Delete "C:/wisp/WiSP Schedule.DAT" and "C:/wisp/WiSP.KEP"
    (2) Run gsc.exe
    (3) Then you will get an error message:
        "GSC cannot find satellite ... in the keplerrian database"
        OK each messages.
    (4) GSC - Database - Update Satellite Database
        and select the right TLE file. 
    (5) GSC - Setup - Satellite Setup - (satellite) - Edit - OK
        Do it each satellites.
    (6) GSC - Tracking - Redo Schedule
    (7) When complete deletion and reinstall WiSP, see another article
        because it is related to the registry -> UNinstall WiSP

22. GSC - Tracking - Track - Satellites - ADD
    GSC - Tracking - Graphic Track - Tracking - Select Satellite
    GSC - Setup - Select Map Font

23. See the following site about "WiSP registry Export/Import".
    http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/wispvist.htm

24. When the various WiSP settings are not saved on PC on Windows10,
    I confirmed that it will be resolved if GSC is run as "administrator authority".

    So, right-click the icon of gsc.exe that you use to run the program,
    and then click "Run as administrator". -> Wisp & Settings
