    "content": "Exactly!  This is what I use, although I do use an RS-232 serial interface\nport on my PC but you could use a USB to RS-232 converter.  It only has\nidiot lights to let you know that it is doing something, your rotator\ncontroller shows you the rest.  It's kind of like having an invisible set\nof fingers controlling the switches!\n\nAnd if things get hung up, you can power off your rotator and power it\nback on and the ST-1 won't keep trying to move the antenna.  My KCT would\nnot let go until you shut down the tracking program, which was annoying\nbecause IF the antennas get hung up for some reason I didn't want them\nmoving when I powered the rotator back on, what I needed to do was move\nthem back the other way!\n\nJerry\nNØJY\n\n\n> Check out the FoxDelta.
