[amsat-bb] Re: GVLB Tracker and Yaesu rotors

[Ronald Nutter]

At this point, I dont know which one that I would like to use.  I am 
using a channel master rotor right now but would like to have some level 
of automated rotor control so I can concentrate more on operating the 
satellites than having to keep manually adjusting the rotor to keep 
pointed at the bird I am working.
