[amsat-bb] Spid RAS rotor issue

[Clayton W5PFG]

I eliminated all my issues with the AlfaSpid RAS/HR & MD-01 controller by migrating from using SatPC32 to PSTrotator software for rotor control. SatPC32 did not have the correct incremental steps and more importantly it does not read any feedback from the controller when it is sending commands. You will definitely have problems, potentially hazardous mechanical aiming issues, if you attempt to use the AlfaSpid+SatPC32 for anything other than 360 degree rotation.  My recommendation is use PSTrotator natively to control/direct Spid movements (and NOT feed with DDE instructions from other applications.)
