The switch buttons are for calibration mainly. The switches on the G-5400/G-5500 can be used for manual control. With the USB interface you don't need to fool with another serial port. 73, Harvey K5HV - Original Message - From: Wayne Estes w...@charter.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 11:27 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] simplest USB rotor interface As an AMSAT Area Coordinator, I occasionally get questions about rotor interfaces. So I need to become better informed about the interface options. I'm well aware of the LVBtracker, but to me it seems to be overkill for the intended purpose. It's not necessary for a rotor interface to have a big box, display, and control switches. The interface really only needs to contain A/D and D/A converters. All displays and controls can be implemented virtually on the computer's screen. Is there a simple and cheap USB interface for the G-5500 rotor? Something small and simple like FODtrack, but with a USB port? I'm aware of WinRotor USB, but nobody in North America seems to use it.

In a shirt pocket, to free up my other six hands. Additionally, I have built a little tray wide enough to accommodate my HT on the boom of my Yagi. Helps free another hand, as well as counter-balancing
