      OK, that's identical to the Fox Delta ST1 kit.
Have you calibrated it?
The procedure is here, on the Fox Delta page:

Scroll down to *Setup Guideline for SatPC & Nova for Windows**

    While working with the 8 teachers at Teachers' Institute II, I
    had a
    variety of computer operating systems.  We had some odd
    behavior with the
    Win7 machines, but I am not sure if this was a fluke or a pattern.

    We were using SatPC32 v12.8b with the SAEBRTrackBox setting in the
    software, and the students with issues were running Win7.  The
    G5500's did
    not always respond as expected.  For example, if we commanded
    it to move to
    45 degrees elevation, it would, but if we manually entered 179
    degrees it
    would drop down to about 25 degrees.  The fix seemed to be to
    set the
    turning point of azim rotor under the 'Rotor Setup" to S
    instead of N.  I
    am running v12.8a and have not trouble with the exact same set
    up and I am
    set to 'N".

    Has anyone else experienced this?  In my trouble shooting, I
    believe I was
    able to trace it back to the computers/software.  Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance.

    Matt, N8MS
