FWIW, sorry if the following is too obvious but from personal experience,   a) the DDE selection in HRD Rotator should be "HRD SatTrack".   b) also, the RX in HRD Satellite should be checked,   c) and, after RX is checked, "DDE Track" in HRD Rotator needs to un-selected and re-selected  this helps kick-start it... weird but true in my case.      Umesh, k6vug

I  got SatPC32 running my G-5500 via an ERC-M interface on the very first try. (Thanks, Rafael, NN3RP for the great documentation.)

Not so lucky with HRD Satellite Tracking and Rotator Control.

The Satellite Tracking screen show the correct az/el positions for the rotator.  I can steer the rotator with the Rotator app.  But, I cannot get it to track an active satellite.

I have some screen grabs to share and can provide a succinct statement of what is happening/not happening when I try to track a bird.  I am hoping it is something as simple as a bogus DDE button setting.

If anyone is not watching the basketball game tonight and is willing to take a look, I would appreciate your kind help.

Please contact me offline.

73, Frank
