Got tracking working with the FoxDelta ST USB version this past weekend.
Doppler correction is working on the IC-9100.
When I ask it to track SO-50, it is supposed to go to 175.8 azimuth and
1 elevation but instead it goes to 356 azimuth and 138 elevation. I
setup the FoxDelta for 180 elevation max and 450 azimuth max.
You would think there is an issue with the FoxDelta. But.... If I switch
to PO-101, it moves exactly to its location perfectly. I switch back to
SO-50 and it goes to a whacky az/el.
Have not turned off or touched either the Yaesu controller or FoxDelta,
RS-44 coming over, tracked it perfectly.
Again not touching anything, just set it for AO-7. Was supposed to be AZ
337.5 and EL 5.8 but rotor went to AZ 158 and EL 176. The ServerDX says
target 159az/178el and actual 159az/178el.
Any suggestions? It has done this with several satellites. Even if I
turn off the Yaesu controller and the FoxDelta and turn them back on, it
goes to the whacky location for SO-50 and perfectly to PO-101.
On the Rotor page, there is a park location of 10 az and 180 el.
Correction has zeroes in both az/el. Park automatically after pass is
off. ServerDX shows target
Scratching my head on this one.
