G5500/LVB Tracker/SatPC32
I'm helping a friend get his satellite station set up.
He's using an LVB Tracker, G5500 and SatPC32. I'm working on the rotor setup. The setting for 450 degree AZ rotation is greyed out. I can't select it and I'd like to do that. I do have flip mode off.
I have to be missing something.
Mike, do you by chance have 180 deg EL selected? You can't have both 180 and 450.... so 90/450 or 180/360 or 90/360.

Mike, make also sure that the turning point of the azimuth rotor (menu Rotor Setup) is set to N. By default it is S.

Problem solved. I had to set "turning point of azimuth rotor" to N in Rotor Setup. Was set to S.
Tnx to all that replied.
