Thank you very much, Mike. No, I hadn't calibrated the LVB Tracker to the G-5500 control box. I looked around the web for the LVB documentation but had no success. I was really surprised to not find any documentation or even mention of the LVB Tracker on the AMSAT web page. Regardless, thank you for your help. I think this will enable me to get the array going.
Thanks, Robin Midgett K4IDC

Robin, did you calibrate your LVBTracker to your G-5500 control box?
Attached a document that might help. There's two ways to do the calibration. Use the front panel pushbuttons or text commands sent to the tracker via it's serial interface.

This evening I connected my new to me LVB tracker to the G-5500 control box (also new to me) for the first time..all seems well except that the azimuth reading between the G-5500 control & the LVB tracker are 255° apart. I know the array is pointed west, the G-5500 box indicates west, but for a reason I'm not aware of presently the LVB Tracker shows +15°. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Robin Midgett K4IDC
