The two rotors were mounted on their\nappropriate axis' by use of homebrew mounts.\n\nUsually the elevation rotor's controller is then manually re-tagged to\nindicate degrees of elevation. That measurement can be accomplished manually\nusing a cheap elevation indicator that can be found at Harbor Freight, though\nis not required for satellite use.\n\nAn online search (I prefer startpage) yielded multiple hits including:\nhttp://kh6hak.tripod.com/az-el-rotor-control.html\n\nGood luck!\n\nLowell\nK9LDW\n\n\n------ Original Message ------\nReceived: Sun, 24 Jan 2016 10:16:17 PM CST\nFrom: Fred Castello <[email protected]>\nTo: AMSAT bbs <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Az-El Rotors\n\n> Please excuse the newbie.  I have been receiving signals on SSB, CW, Packet,\nand FM via just listening for a while now.  I am newly back into the\nsatellites as I used to work the high elliptical orbit birds years ago.  Let\nmy license lapse and just got it back and upgraded.  Now getting the satellite\nbug again and have really tried researching on the net but am a bit frustrated\nby the paucity of az-el rotors available.  It seems that there are primarily\nthe Yeasu G-5500 type at $700 to $800 or more or make your own and really no\nin-between.  I am looking to have a permanent installation that could track\nboth az and el and preferably be controlled by SatPC32.  I am thinking of\nstarting with a small single antenna with both 2m and 70cm on it (i.e. Arrow\nor other) which would present very low windage.  When I initially got\nre-interested I was imaging a cheap solution with TV rotors but I don’t see\nany folks doing this and I would prefer not to have to set my antenna solution\nup every time I want to work the satellites.  Am I missing something or could\nsomeone point me to an article or reference that I am not aware of?  I really\nappreciate all of the collective experience in this group and thanks for your\ntime!  I am using a Kenwood TS 790A without the 1.2 Ghz installed.\n> Best,\n> Fred Castello, KF4FC\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
