    "content": "If you're talking light-duty, for modest-sized homemade antennas, there are \nseveral azimuth-only TV rotors and light-duty ham rotors that would do the \njob.  Just mount your antennas at a fixed elevation of 15 degrees, and you \nwill be able to work most passes up to 45 degrees or so.  (If they go higher \nthan that, just work 'em early or late in the pass when they are lower).\n\nLook for a rotor that provides a DC position feedback voltage to the \ncontroller (0 to 5 volts for 0 to 360 degrees is what most satellite \ncontrollers expect - you may need to modify the rotor or its controller to \nprovide the voltage.)  There was one available at a lot of home-improvement \nand *-Mart stores a few years ago called the Orbit 360 that was ideal. \nCheck eBay, Craigslist, and The Rotor Man on the web for that, and other \noptions.\n\nSoftware-wise, I am a HUGE fan of SatPC32.  The developer, Erich Eichmann, \nis a member of this group and provides unparalleled support, the price is \nvery reasonable, and 100%  of the proceeds go to AMSAT to build and launch \nsatellites.\n\n\nGeorge, KA3HSW\n\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Zachary Beougher\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Monday, December 20, 2010 8:53 AM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Rotors\n\n\n> All,\n>\n> Is there any other good light duty rotor other than the Yaesu G-5500 that \n> would work well for satellite work?
