    "content": "Bill, You are mistaken. The FT-847 will work fine with SatPC. I had one and\nit worked great. I used a G5400 AZ/EL Rotor from Yaesu with the Easy Rotor\nTracker module from Germany. I also used the 12v voltage on the coax to\npower my mast mounted Preamps. I know this doesn't answer your question but\ntrying to do an automated work around to the G5400 or G5500 is going to be a\nreal pain..\n\n73, Craig W1MSG\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Bill (W1PA)\nSent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 10:54 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] a cheap LEO tracker for single op\n\nAgain, thinking to FD...\n\n- My FT-847 predates bi-directional CAT  i.e. no computer assisted Doppler\n- I may be the only one at the station i.e. no helper to man the antenna\n(Arrow), so I may need to do everything.\n- assume the transponder LEO birds\n\nHas anyone tried this?:\n\n1) mount a standard TV antenna horizontal\n2) align the horizontal rotor axis 90 deg to the orbit \n   tilt (inclination?) of the intended bird (so if the bird went directly\noverhead, a beam mounted on the mast would track)\n3) but, mount the antenna on the horizontal mast such that it can be set\ntilted off the mast \n   0 to 90 degs to the mast axis (from horizon to zenith, and in practice\nset it to the maximum elevation of the intended pass)\n4) operation: set the rotator (in 2) and aim the beam to the AOS\n  point of the pass (in 3), pan the orbit remotely from the operator\nposition.\n5) the rotator axis and angle of the beam to mast would have to be set for\neach pass.\n\nDo-able?\n\nBill W1PA \n \n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
