Your text\nabove says 'fixed 15* set-up\", and I'm not sure if that fulfills the\nlow gain requirement above. If you're worried about all the technical\nrequirements, consider using an antenna rotor with a manual control.\nAgain, if the beam is wide enough, you will be able to twiddle this\neasily, and the price is right for these units.\n\nSatPC32 is indeed flexible enough to control az only, though the exact\narrangement will depend on the rotors and their controllers.\n\n\n73, Bruce VE9QRP\n\n-- \nhttp://ve9qrp.blogspot.com\n\n", "attachments": [] }
