Hi Tom,

1. Go into Setup - Rotor Setup Select the (your) "interface" in the rotor interface/controller box (might be "Yaesu GS-232" or whatever) and click "Store" in the window box. 2. Use "File" and "Quit", then restart the program. 3. Upon restarting a new program will start called "ServerSDX". It will appear for a second and then be accessible down below in your MS Windows Desktop in the bottom menu bar as a small icon with 2 red and green lights. Click on it and now the (small) window of Server SDX is open. Use the "Setup" button" to select ports and baud rates. Don't forget to "Store". You cannot quit Server SDX! You can only minimize it again. It only quits when you quit SatPC32! Once completed, select File and Quit again in SatPC32. 4. Now restart the program and go back to Setup - Rotor Setup to finalize your setting(s). Look at the small "Settings" box and select the "turning point" of your rotor. "N" for North, "S" for south. The rest of the values in that box are not necessarily needed for your Yaesu rotor. Select any other options in the lower window box of the Rotor Setup window. Store and quit the program (File - Quit). 5. Restart and have fun!

All of this and more is described in the menu "?" - Hints (Rotor) and the "Manual" also accessible in the "?" menu.

Good Day

I am using Sat32PC and it is working fine for tracking my rig (IC9700)

However, trying to setup a rotator - it's a Yaesu G-2800 with an ERC controller - on COM 24

I can’t seem to find how to set com ports.

Does anyone have any tip or guides?

It works with PstRotator so know all cabled correctly - very difficult to understand SatPC32 Setup Rotor screen - the ERC board is supported from docs. Someone also told me Sat32PC can ‘talk’ to PSTRotator directly - again I can't seem to find how to setup that up either.

Any help would be appreciated.
