I have incorporated a simple model of the Pioneer Anomaly into my realtime simulations of Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11.

Modelled as a straight-line differential based on information in the Astronomy Magazine, March 2009, p. 24-26:
Pioneer 10: 1998 58,000km -> 1 Jan 2050 2,548,000km
Pioneer 11: 1998 6,000km -> 13 Jan 2050 1,912,000km

Always glad to receive a more precise model (of the effect, NOT the cause) from anyone out there …
