    "content": "Hi Fred,\nIf your working the current crop of LEO sats, then you don't need an AZ/EL\nsetup.  Just AZ will do with the Arrow antenna set to about 20 degrees\nelevation.  I control my HD-73 with the Easy Rotor Controller (ERC) using\nSATPC-32.  Very simple and works well with the  Arrow.  Get you started\nwithout too much invested.\nKevin/W3DAD\n\nOn Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 11:13 PM, Fred Castello <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Please excuse the newbie.
