George,

You'll have to enable the rotator fx in satpc32.

Then, when the program starts, serversdx will give you an error (defaults to com 0). Cancel it. It will be on the toolbar at the bottom of the window. Click on server sdx, select setup, tell it com port and speed (9600 8N1 IIRC). Click ok, restart satpc32. It should find the tracker.

Troubleshoot com port problems using a loopback test. Use a female jumper from tx pin to rx pin on the DB9. Open your fave terminal. Talk trashy to yourself. See it? Good! Not? Start down the troubleshooting tree.

Have fun!

I have not been able to get the LVB Tracker to talk to SATPC32 in my IC-9100. I am using a Keyspan USA 19HS USB-to-serial adapter between the LVB Tracker and my laptop (Windows 8, 64 bits). When I start the SATPC32 program, I get an error message "Port 1 could not be found". According to the device manager in my PC, the Keyspan 19HS has COM2 assigned. I selected COM2 for rotor setting. I think I am supposed to select the same COM2 for ServerSDX. But, I never get ServerSDX box on the screen. Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
