    "content": "Hi Steve,\n\n Here's three things I know off that you can look into. The first is \ncalled a Saebrtrack which is a DIY interface. I don't remeber the \nwebsite url but plugging the word as it's spelled above into google \nshould get you there. The next thing is an interface by Mark Spencer \nWA8SME that appeared in the Sept. 2005 QST. It is based upon the \nSaebretrack concept, with both units using a Basic Stamp  in the design \nof the interface. The third design is also by Mark Spencer and appeared \nin the May/June 2006 AMSAT journal with a follow up in the July/August \nissue as well. It uses a PIC micro controller  and is supposed to be \nquite cheaper than the Basic Stamp versions. I'm not sure but there may \nbe a kit available for it.\n There is also the FODtrack but I have no experience with it although I \nhave heard that it is simple to construct and use. Hope this helps.\nI use a slightly different version of the Saebrtrack to control a pair \nof old Gemini orbit 360 TV rotators. I blew all my dough on my TS-2000X \nand can't afford a G-5500. :-)  Wish I could!!!!\n73,\nMichael, W4HIJ\nAMSAT # 36017\nSteve Raas wrote:\n> Hello everyone, \n>\n>  \n>\n> In interfacing the radio to the PC with sat pc32 it dawned on me that I need\n> to have rotor control as well.
