Yep, if the bird is below the horizon, most programs won't track it!
Glad it's working for you.
Are you using this for the APT satellites?

Found an in-view bird and it's tracking. The relays they be clicking. I have no idea what I did. Probably because I didn't have a bird in view.
Pedro sent me that Amsat that helps a lot. Now bookmarked Jim, thanks for your assistance. I may be taking this to Burning Man this year.
Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side. GEO

Oh, D'OH!
I thought you were using SatPC32.......
Never mind, and sorry for the confusion.....

Thanks Pedro for that site.
I can control the rotors with the dde, but not track from the WXTrack program.

Perhaps worth try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe
Using wispdde controls Rotor & Dopplers
It is the executable of http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm

Have you selected the tracking function in the software? You click
the "R"
button in the upper left corner of the display screen, and if it
indicates
"R+" it should be able to control the rotors.
And don't forget to calibrate them! I use the command line function
("DOS
Box") to do it, but again, I forget the name of the program I used.

Thanks. Been there done that.
I saw that, GS232, under the CX6DD selection. No joy. I opened the
DDE and
am able to control the rotors remotely so I know the com port is
working,
but no tracking. Still pushing buttons. -!8^)

You won't.
IIRC, you select the Yaesu GS-232 protocol, but it's been so long
since
I set mine up that I don't remember.
