RE: [amsat-bb] Rotor tracking

["Howard Long" <howard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug

Although normally I do go to Dayton, for the first time in five years I will
not be going.

If they turn up, and my Aussie mate goes (who's over in the UK right now), I
may well get some over there.

Alternatively I am stuck Fedexing them back, but time is not on my side.

Cheers, Howard

Are you going to be at Dayton?  Or will someone be selling the LVB
Tracker PC boards there?

   Fodtrack is great, and it's cheap.

   There is also the LVB Tracker at
   http://www.g6lvb.com/Articles/LVBTracker/index.htm.

   I should have a large quantity of PCB's for the LVB Tracker waiting for
me
   upon return from work today if Fedex have kept up to their word. The main
   PCB is $10 and the USB interface PCB is $6 all inclusive if you're
   interested.

   The LVB Tracker only performs antenna tracking, not Doppler tracking. If
you
   use Nova, Doppler tracking can be performed with WispDDE but I don't know
if
   there's an IC910 driver for that yet.

   I have Yeasu G5500  rotors and I use NOVA for Satellite tracking.  The
   rotors are not  installed  yet.
   What I would  like to know is what is a good  interface to use. The radio
is
   an IC910H. I have  heard
   of  FODtrack but do not know much about it. Just looking for ideas before
I
   install.
