free and for windows mobile! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just downloaded, installed and put the registration codes indicated in http://www.qsl.net/zl3ad/registration.htm.

I have tracked Hamsat VO-52 with success using the cheapest TV rotor on the market and my windows mobile device running tracksat/wm.

The software is very easy to use and it has some amazing features. It does not have the horizon view, and few frequencies of the satellites are included. I was amazed however that for the ISS the frequency includes the correction for the doppler effect real time. I was astonished when clicking on view to show the AOS for the satellite I could import the passes to the calendar of the device which alerted me just when the satellite was coming! My agenda is now full for the next 7 days!!!!
