Hi All,
I am planning to get started on the linear satellites and have bought a G5500 rotator and two Wimo antennas for 2/70.
Before I put the rotator onto the roof I have been using it in the shack to make sure it does what it should. However
when I get overhead passes, with the Flip 180 feature turned on, the rotator doesn't take the antenna over the top, it still
stops at the maximum elevation and then turns to the new azimuth (not sure I explained that very well).
Also, I have set SATPC to A+ hoping that the software would automatically switch to the next satellite - it doesn't.
What am I doing wrong guys?
Is there a friendly operator in the Hertfordshire area of the UK I can make contact with?
Thanks in advance
Peter
