[amsat-bb] Re: Yaesu G-5500 Azimuth Rotator Fluctuation Problem

Gary,

There is nothing in the rotator which should normally cause the problem. All tracking programs have a place to set a "dead band" which defines when the antenna is "close enough" to the calculated value. If that dead band is set too narrow, or to zero, the controller is likely to hunt back and forth as you describe. Depending on your array, a window of a few degrees should be fine. Something to test, in any case.
