Dear masat MEMBERS. I HAVE TROUBLE WITH UNITRAC2003, I cant interface it with yaesu g-5500, my antennas mechanical orientation is east. it means that when yaesu indoor unit arrows to north=0 my antennas 0 is east, and it is not accord with any of azimuth formats in unitrac getting started file. i thinh that it is near to option 4 , this option is true for my antennas mechanical orientation but it is wrong for yaesu electrical unit that shows the antennas orientation indoor. e.g. when satellite in 270 AZ acording to unitrac, my antennas rotate to north but the azimuth arrow to south in yaesu indoor unit, and i cant recive any signal. I dont know what to do? I am really confused. any help would be gratefully appreciated. Best Regards.

Hi Doug (and John!)
There will be an AMSAT table at Holland Amateur Radio Club's Great Lakeshore Super Swap in Holland, MI tomorrow, Saturday Oct 16th. My father (John K8YSE) and I (Doug KD8CAO) will be available to discuss AMSAT and demonstrate satellite operation.
We will be active on all satellites FM & SSB during the hamfest which runs from 1200z to 1600z (8AM to 12PM local time). In addition to the V/U and U/V satellites, we will be on AO-7 in Mode A. We would appreciate your call, especially if you have the ability to work us on Mode A.
Hope to hear you on in the morning. Maybe an SO-50 pass around 1430 UTC, or on VO-52 an hour after that. I am not set up for AO-7 mode A, something I need to work on sometime back home.
73!
