Hi Erich, First of all, thank you for developing such a great program. Secondly, thank you for personally responding to my query. Sorry my reply is a bit delayed, but work took priority (I guess I have the wrong priorities). I chose AlphaSpid and stored that, exited the program through File/Quit. I restarted and that didn't work. I then used the Search button located in the Rotor Setup menu. It came up with 2 files under the Spid directory: ROTSERVPOS.SQF and SPIDPARAM.SQF. I selected the first one, stored, exited and upon restart, I received the message that it could not find file ROTSERVPOS.EXE. I then selected the second one, and upon restart I received a message that it could not find SPIDPARAM.EXE. I did a search of my PC and could not find either of these files anywhere. Should they have been installed during the setup? Should I do a reinstall of the program? Any suggestions from you or anyone else on the great forum would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rich 4Z1JJ

Hi Rich, The LPT ports are only used with the old parallel port interfaces (IF-100, FODTrack etc.). Open the list of supported rotor controllers at the top of menu 'Rotor Setup' and choose item 'AlfaSpid'.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I am having with setting up Satpc32 and my Spid Ras rotor. SatPC32 asks for a parallel port of 1-4 in the set up menu, while the Spid Ras controller set up a serial port (com port 8 in my case). How do I reconcile the two?
