Surplus KCT
I have at my QTH a Kansas City Tracker board with a printed manual and a copy of the KCT.ZIP file. The owner of the board, George-WA5KBH, would like to find it a home. To acquire it contact me (Al-N7EQF) directly by email. The cost of acquiring the item is to pay for the shipping cost (flat rate priority mail envelope), commit a donation to AMSAT and promise not to ask me any questions concerning how to install, configure, or operate it (I do not know). The board is un-tested and may or may not work, no known reason to suspect it's condition.
Thanks - Al - N7EQF
Since it has been a while since these have been up on the list, I want to remind folks that this requires an early early early generation slot, called an ISA slot. The drivers for the card are STRICTLY DOS 6.2 and earlier interrupt handlers and are zero likely to work on a modern windows machine.
If you have an old machine with ISA slots, running DOS, this board was one of the engineering marvels of its time and should still work beautifully on Yaesu rotators today. You will need Quiktrak or IT to run it (again, DOS computer programs).

WISP is another Windows program that controlled the Kansas City Tracker ISA based card very nicely, if you want to use it in a Windows 95/98 environment.

I still use my KCT card with SatPS32 under windows XP. I bought an updated ISA slot motherboard for somewhat more then I would of paid for a comparable performance Mobo for the same money. That was about 3 years ago. All is still working well. I tried to upgrade to Win7 a year ago but gave up because of some other issues I don't quite remember other than the KCT. This is my oldest computer I now own, but still works well running APRS with WX, and to track sats with...
