Hi folks, Is there anybody that uses Orbitron with WispDDE and the ERC -M? I have mounted and set ( Thanks to Rene ) it to use with the Yaesu G-5500 Azimuth/Elevation Rotors. I have interfaced it with the Orbitron software but get a couple of issues:
- When the satellites reach the LOS, the rotators remains in the last pointing position and does not move to the parking position as set in the WispDDE rotator settings.
- When i click on another satellite, the rotators moves to the Azimuth position even if the satellite is not visible from my Qth.
Please anybody can tell me if I am making something wrong? Thanks for any help that will be really appreciated.

This is normal. To get it to park you need to run wispdde first BEFORE starting orbitron. Then when you are finished you close orbitron but leave wispdde open and running. It will then park. It is not automatic.
- When i click on another satellite, the rotators moves to the Azimuth position even if the >satellite is not visible from my Qth.
Some controllers have an option, I am not sure on the ERC to not move when the elevation is low.

No. Use SATPC32. It is harder to use but it does not have these problems. It has settings to do what you want.
