Hi,
I had similar problem in the past whereby the SDX will not respond.
The issue was not the SDX but the cheap USB-Serial converter using Prolific chip, I tried a few of these and same symptoms. This was particularly annoying when in the middle of the QSO, having to close everything, restart the computer (sometimes a few times) to get it again working.
I finally bought a good quality 4-Way RS232 to USB with FTDI chip and now using only one USB port for Rotor, CAT and GPS clock, no more issue.
May be above can help.

Hi Kevin and others, perhaps you want to try the older version of ServerSDX.exe whether it works better. This version only outputs az and el to the controller but doesn't read the actual position as the newer version does (the reading function was a suggestion of a user who worked the program remotely so that he could no see his antenna). The older file can be downlaoded here: www.dk1tb.de/ServerSDX.exe First save your present file, for example rename it, then copy the downloaded file into the sub folder SDX of the SatPC32 program folder. 73s, Erich, DK1TB
