Is it possible to use a U110 rotor with a tracking program? I am in the planning stages and would like to have the computer track the birds. Thanks Mike
Hi Mike,
Possible? Yes, but not with any of the usual controllers. I built one of my own from a Basic Stamp-II many years ago. See the links at the top of http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/
Good luck!

Yes, homebrew is the name of the game.
I've made a az/ele tracking system with 2 x u110 rotators and a home brew parallel port interface, which takes the data from SatPC 32 via DDE.
Here is a video (operating as VK4FHAW back then) talking to VK2AOR on FO 29 SSB:
