Parking the rig and the antennas
Hi. Maybe it's here somewhere but I'll take the chance to ask .... Has anyone using SatPc32 found a way to park the rig and antennas after each pass? I want to set my antennas pointing 225, zero elevation and the rig on 145.600.
I did try to make a fake satellite with no result. Earlier, when I used Uni-trac I had a satellte called "park" that did this job.

SatPC32 has a park option. Just click on the Rotor selection and set your desired park az and el, then check the 'park automatically after the pass' box. For a park frequency, just close SatPC32 and the radio will revert to the frequency it was on before you opened the program...

Hello. Thanks for the answers, all of you.
Yes, I am aware of parking the antennas done by presets in the rotor window. I also know that when I close the software the rig goes back to the settings before starting the software. I was thinking if the rig "parked" at a given frequency and mode between the passes. No big deal, just a question and a thought.

Do what as suggested to me by the group here. I had a similar situation and found that by putting in a GEO satellite with the frequencies I wanted at the end of any known satellite passes. The GEO was sitting at priority 0. When all passes are done, it goes to the GEO (has to be in range), points the antennas (which I'm not using at this time), and goes back to the previous frequencies I monitor between passes.
Seems to work fine.
