I'm looking for a motor from a G5500. Its for the elevation section,
but I would guess the azimuth uses the same motor. I have a short on
one of the windings, so actually all I really need is the winding assembly.
Does any body have such a thing surplus to their needs?
Thanks

It is possible to disassemble the motor and rewind it.

I highly recommend the thermal also.

I just received my new (additional) Spid RAS. This Spid Az/eL WILL
strictly be for Satellite work here.
At the moment I have only the included USB Rot2Prog controller.
Manually the Spid works through the Rot2Prog's (cheap) controller,
Arrows, just fine, in both Az and El.
I want to have PstRotator program control the Spid. But I see that the
only new Port is Com2. I do not see an Elevation Port when the Rot2Prog
box is connected by USB to the win-10 box.
How to find both ports from one USB cable off the Rot2Prog Spid
controller so I can do some tracking ?
thanks

I will be at the Everett Sr. High School with 15 - 20 Physic students and
their teacher to demonstrate the concept of Amateur Radio using a satellite
- AO-91.??? It's near the end of the school year and the teacher will be
doing hands-on project which include a balloon launch with a smart package
that will tell GPS, temperature, direction using APRS.???? I will be setting
up my tripod with a PA system for work as many of you as I can.
Wednesday Jun 5 at 12:29 (PDT) 1929 UTC from Grid CN87.? (I know, not the
most rare grid). ? We will be on the front lawn of the school.
I hope we can demonstrate how well we can exchange calls and grids in the
shot time it's over us.
Any suggestion, please email me offline
Thank you

CAS-4A and CAS-4B are great satellites, used by both casual operators and
rovers.

I'm looking for a medium length Antenna for my SAT station here in NJ. As
space in limited at my winter home I went with a low gain Comet CYA-126E. I
have a bit more space here, and a more restricted sky view so I'm looking
for something around 6'+ or so with 25+ elements to help me burn through the
leaves, too many freakin trees here J. I'm looking at a 25 L Directive
Systems DSE2425LYK. I once had a 55L DSE when I had more space, no room for
that here. Before I pull the trigger on the DSE25 I was wondering if anyone
could recommend something a bit larger, but smaller then the DSE45's 12 '
boom length? Thanks in advance...

Jeff, I just put up the 6' DSE2425LY a month ago and could not be more
pleased with its performance. So much more gain than my little ebay special
and I was pleasantly surprised at how wide the lobes are.
Good luck.

Last time I bought one, a 55L in 2011, wasn't the company in Maine? It was,
I think an engineering spinoff of Cushcraft. Is this true...

You can't go wrong with the D/S antenna.
I run a 55el 1269 version here for mode L and the same but at 1296 at my
contest station.

S-Band is heavily utilized by LEO satellites as well as more distant
objects such as the LRO.
One excellent place to start is:
https://uhf-satcom.com/satellite-reception/s-band
... and as for specific objects and frequencies that I have personally
received, there are very strong signals from the following:
2232245000 - Tiangong-2
2245680000 - numerous CartoSat satellites
2242500000 - numerous known & unknown satellites, a popular TT&C downlink
... TLEs for the first two are available and the signals are extremely
strong. Activity on 2242.5 is hit & miss - some sats don't transmit on
S-Band 24x7, so it's just a frequency that you can monitor for random
activity if nothing else is around.
Hope that helps!
