Hi Frank,
Try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm , along with wispDDE driver could control Rotor as well as Dopplers.
Wishing success in installing and using your Rotor.

Hi All,
I just picked up a Yaesu G5400B Az\El from another ham who was using it for EME. This is my first rotator, so any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated. I have noticed some sticking in the control box, so I'm guessing DeOxit is in my future. The goal is to get this under computer control. What's the best way of doing this?
Thanks, Frank B kb1qzh _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
