Thank you Jeff
Hope you visit our home page K4AMG.org.
a dummy, I did not bring the equipment manuals to the event. The schematic gives the identifier for "U 1" but does not tell me what "Q1 -Q4" are nor does it give "R & C" values.
The station is stored at another location so I do not have the box to open and view.
We were operating solar power.
We will try that.
Thanks Rich W4BUE

Hi Rich, Did you try to recalibrate? I used to have a problem with my LVBT up in NJ losing calibration all the time. I contacted AMSAT and they sent me a new F/W chip, this resolved the problem...

Yesterday at the an event we were operating a GOTA operation, it appears our LVB Tracker about 4 - 5 years old failed on the rotor side. The numbers that correspond to the 5500 rotor did not track and the elevation rotor did not respond. The Azimuth rotor responded. The 5500 rotor worked great manually. We did a test run 3 days before and all was well.
Anyone experience this problem????
God Bless
