Friends:
I am working on a summer project with students at Montgomery College,
Rockville. The project is to design and build a device that controls a
pair of inexpensive satellite TV rotors. And the device would emulate a
popular AZ-EL rotor such as a Yaesu G-5500 AZ-EL controller so it can be
used by a satellite tracking program such as SatPC32. Tom, K3IO
suggested this project at the last AMSAT-DC workshop and is guiding us
with this project.
I would like to borrow a Yaesu G-5500 AZ-EL controller and rotor for
about three months or buy a used one so we can study and understand its
command protocol.
I will pick up or pay for shipping. Please contact David, W2LNX directly at
W2LNX(a)amsat.org
Thank you,
David, W2LNX
