Turns out PSTRotator appears to only enforce limits if you are in 0-90 deg mode and ignore them if you're in 0-180 mode. Changed the mode yesterday and tested and stops at 40 degrees as expected.
good to know as I am going to revert Az/El control back to PSTRotator. I just had SatPC32 run it to 78 degrees EL with AO7 a few mins ago
I emailed the Green-Heron programmer but never heard back. There is a setting in the rotor-control program whereby one sets in CW & CCW plus Elevation LIMITS.
But I see those are not enforced either.
SatPC32 can't know what limits I have in the RT-21 control-box and there seems to be no limits to set in the SATPC32 program ... that I can find.
I've let PSTRotator control the SPID before and (at 0 - 90) PST adheres to my in-program Limits.
I won't use PST for CAT radio control as SatPC32 is plainly hands-down the most smooth and accurate I have ever used ...I hit the CW keyer and BANG, there I am in the speakers .
It seems to me that the Green-Heron rotor control box should allow and enforce rotor limits.
I made the mistake this early pre-dawn morning of not using a flashlight to see if limits WERE enforced.
