The Greencube Terminal Program, developed by Carsten Groen, OZ9AAR, has taken another leap forward in its evolution with the la
unch of Version 1.0.0.90. This latest update brings a number of enhancements and fixes geared towards bolstering operational ef
ficiency and enriching the user experience, particularly for IO-117 satellite enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of this update is the integration of UHM 2.1 (yoU Heard Me), supplanting the older UHM 2.0. It's i
mperative for users to make the switch before May 14th, as UHM 2.0 will quit working thereafter. In the Live World View (LWV), 
users now have the flexibility to customize the positioning of the "radar view" of the current pass on the screen, allowing for
 more tailored satellite tracking experiences. Moreover, a bug that caused the frequency/band to default to 435.310 MHz regardl
ess of the satellite selected when logging stations has been rectified.

Several user-requested enhancements have been incorporated, including the addition of time stamps (HH:MM:SS) when copying selec
ted lines to the clipboard in the Traffic window and the removal of limitations on the length of callsigns (excluding SSID) in 
AX.25 mode so the full 6-character callsigns in AX.25 are supported. Additionally, users can now integrate their horizon into t
he "radar view" in LWV by defining horizon definitions in a text file.

Noteworthy improvements have also been made to message handling within the Terminal program. These include fixes to parsing iss
ues with local TLE data caused by duplicate NORAD numbers and adjustments to the way UHM paints lines in the Traffic view to ad
dress reported errors. Furthermore, enhancements to LoTW status checks now ensure that updates occur automatically every 12 hou
rs based on user-configured preferences, streamlining the process and ensuring accuracy.

The introduction of Live QSO Viewer (LQV) and Live World View (LWV) offers users innovative graphical representations of satell
ite traffic and station locations, enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency. Additionally, the integration of
 GPS in version 1.0.0.84 enables users to connect GPS receivers for automatic grid location updates, simplifying tracking and r
eporting, especially for mobile users.

With the addition of features such as UHM integration, expanded satellite selection, and improved message handling, users can a
nticipate a more robust and user-friendly experience with the Greencube Terminal Program v1.0.0.90. These updates underscore a 
commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring Greencube Terminal Program remains the most popular application f
or GreenCube satellite communications. More information about installation, features, and updates can be found on Carsten's web
