Bob As part of a diagnosis, I would certainly try your suggestion to see if you can reproduce the fault. Before taking it apart, you might also want to see if you can talk to the unit from a terminal emulator when it hangs to try to identify whether it's a USB/Tracker/USB driver/SatPC32 related p

I've gotten an email from YouTube about adding ads to my AMSAT videos and getting paid for it. This might be a little bit of easy income for AMSAT, but I have a hard time believing it'd be worth it. Has anyone done this, and can you give me an idea of the amount of revenue per view? They don't e

Does anyone know if the DXpeditions to the "new" PJ entities plan on any satellite operation? I figure they are busy with HF operations right now but getting on for a few satellite passes once they have worked down the pileups on HF would sure be fun for the sat operators. 73s John AA5JG

Bob,   I built the LVB tracker up from one of Howard's early bare boards.   I had these problems interfacing to an old Wilson 550 rotor. I added relay circuits inside the old rotor box. The relay coils had supression diodes. The relays were switching 120 VAC which I think was the root cause. I st
