[amsat-bb] Rotor control with SatPC32ISS

[Stephan Greene]

I got a very timely reply from Erich, DK1TB.  SatPCISS uses the information
in Configuration 1.  After I set up Config 1 with the rotor control
settings I use in Config 2, SatPCISS controls rotors as well as radio.  I
suspected that was the case but hadn’t found it in documentation
[subsequently found mention of renaming the DDE server further in the docs]
or tried it on my own before I received Erich’s complete response.  This is
ANOTHER reason to register a copy – exemplary support from the developer.
PROBLEM SOLVED!


Thank you to the other amsat-bb readers who responded via the list or
direct. Now if Kenwood had only thought to support simultaneous radio
control AND the internal TNC in the TS-2000….  (There are work-arounds so
not that big of a deal.)
