    "content": "Ron,\n\nRE the rotator, check out K3NG's project for an arduino based project.\nI have built many of these.\n\nIf you can find a G5400 or 5500, building the control hardware is not\na big reach. Lots of help on our (K3NG) mailing list.\n\nNice features include remote relay keying (think preamps and other\nrelay things), Adding a gps for sun/moon tracking. This rocks. Makes\nsetup a breeze. Once the gps gets a lock, engage sun or moon track,\nmove tripod so that the antennas are pointed at the celestial body,\noperate kill switch to return to normal ops. This list of features is\nnot exhaustive.\n\nDownside is that the code only runs on a mega 2560.\n\nPic of the total homebrew here:\nhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/37074076991/in/dateposted/\n\nI've got it torn down to change the el to 180, the motors to 12VDC and\nswap in 2:1 gearboxes. Will work much more smoothly.\n\nThe G5400 based device here:\nhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/27426986382/in/dateposted/\n\nPortable radios are IC-7000, Yaesu 875d in a Pelican 1440 and an Ettus\nB210. Longer term goal is to use the B210 all by itself. One step at a\ntime.\n\nNorm n3ykf\nOn Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 1:14 PM ronald mosher <[email protected]> wrote:\n>\n> I am new to satellite communication and this is my first post.
