[amsat-bb] SatPC32 Yaesu rotor not registering 180 degree properly

[Pedro Converso]

As an alternative, try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe .

This app uses driver at http://amsat.org.ar/wispdde.exe

Which allow setup and control GS-232 rotor as well as Dopplers on or
offline.

Just click on the Satellite to be tracked, rotor and rigs are settled.

Wishing good luck with your University Cubesat.
