Hi,
It should be fairly straightforward as you know the position and velocity vectors of both the device and observer.
You could use a modified version of something like 'Predict' to do the az-el calculation and use it's serial drivers for something like a G5500.

I was wondering if anyone has come along a program that would allow the use of live APRS location data from a high altitude balloon to be converted for azimuth and elevation control of a rotor on the ground for antenna control. We are thinking of using such a set-up to receive relative "weak" ATV signals.
Any feedback appreciated.
