[amsat-bb] Automatic GS Tracking Satellites Software

[Jim Jerzycke]

Have you selected the tracking function in the software? You click the 
"R" button in the upper left corner of the display screen, and if it 
indicates "R+" it should be able to control the rotors.


And don't forget to calibrate them! I use the command line function 
("DOS Box") to do it, but again, I forget the name of the program I used.
