All,
Is there any other good light duty rotor other than the Yaesu G-5500 that would work well for satellite work? I might like to consider getting one for some homemade antennas that I might use for a rover setup. Other than the rotor and a computer, what do I need to be able to get the thing to track the birds. I know I obviously need a tracking program like SatPC32, Orbitron, HRD – Are any of those better than another? Sorry for the “amateur” questions – I have never done anything with rotors – just the Arrow/HT and standing out in the cold freezing combination. ;-)
73!
