Hi,
I am looking to get my station automated again. Years ago I was running WISP, FT-736, Yaesu Az-El rotor and TAPR Trackbox. It was a really cool system watching it completely automate the message transfers to the satellites. Then came along the internet..........
I now use Orbitron and a TS-2000. Still have the same rotor. The TrackBox is sitting in the garage, but could be brought back to life. I never changed the proms for Y2K!!!
So, what is the current equipment being used to tie the tracking software to control the rotor and radio these days?
I am not tied to Orbitron or the Trackbox, if I need to get something else more up to date that is fine.
Thoughts about integrating my station together again?

Take a look at SatPC32. I use it and love it--does everything.
