Sorry you are having such a hard time editing the trsp files. You are probably not going to be happier when I tell you that your local changes will be lost the next time you run "Update transponder data". Transponder data is fetched from the SatNOGS database which is where changes should be made. There might come a merge functionality and an editor in gpredict in the future, although it is not on the current roadmap.
The satellite name can not be used as the unique identifier for an object because an object can have different names in different databases and even one name can refer to one or more objects each with their own catalog number.
Two issues about .trsp files, both related to the high difficulty in manually changing the transponder parameters.
Wouldn't be much easier to define just two variables, e.g. upfreq and downfreq and just work with them? Or maybe I just don't understand the idea behind it.
