Also Bob, not sure if you're using it but since the topic of PSTRotator came up, I had a similar issue recently where I had an elevation limit of 40degrees setup and it blew past it and about bottomed out the antennas on the ground (they're on a non penetrating roof mount in the back yard).
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.
Ryan, NF0T.

Bob, the elevation problem has nothing to do with SatPC32......
..... SatPC32 doesn't provide to limit the elevation to values below 90. I don't know whether the controller firmware will do that.
excellent point Erich.
I will email the GH person. Thank you.
