For satellite tracking, AZ/EL data would have to be \ncomputed/predicted as we normally do.\n\nMost of the tracking HARDWARE I've seen are small, use R/C servos and \ncarry usually patch antennas or small axial mode helix antennas. Don't \nknow how these would handle larger antennas like even small yagis.\n\nR/C servos with high-torque output are available, but given that these \ntop-end servos can exceed US$200 per axis, it isn't clear that a design \nbased on these would offer much advantage to (say) a G5500.\n\nOn 07/08/2014 01:42 PM, Bill (W1PA) wrote:\n> Anyone aware of any projects to adapt this technology to LEO tracking?\n>\n> Bill W1PA\n>\n> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGQ-tLxafdM\n>\n>\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
