Satellite tracking software

This may not be the appropriate place to ask & feel free to redirect me.
Looking for a free Satellite Tracking program that will work in Windows 11.
Looking for something similar to GPredict in layout & operation.

Thanks

Does the windows version not work in Windows 11?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of a windows version.

You can also use Orbitron also on Windows.

Thanks I'll have a look at that too.
This is all knew to me and lm still finding my way.

I have used WXTrack for years although I haven't tried on my Win 10 laptop - it will track many satellites at one time (all the gps/glonass/chinese!) or just one you pick from the list. It checks for new data when you turn it on and does the updates itself.

ISS just went over my location at about 500k.
I tuned to 145.8MHz thinking I may pick up a transmission, but no.

Try receiving 437.800 on next passes. The 437.8 crossband repeater is up and coming in hot on my handheld

Will do.

Still haven't manage to hear a peep for from the ISS.
I was all ready for the last pass, 400k - 600k form my location
Was scanning most of the frequencies from the list on the site below, using my discone.

ISS Radio Frequencies (zarya.info)

@rocky28965 You would have a better change to use a yagi. I a dual band antenna for the ISS from arrow antenna.

Discones are pretty deaf in the overhead - most of the pattern is towards the horizon.

Finally managed to pick up ISS
Saw it approaching on Gpredict.
Received on SDR through Discone, also on Uniden scanner through UHF wip.
Both antennas seemed to work about the same.

I use WxTrack also. one thing nice is an output can drive my pan/tilt antenna.
Works great on Win 10, should work great on 11.

I had a look at WXTrack but it looks bit beyond my ability.
