That is what K4AMG.org uses. Works great with SAT PAC AMSAT program

Subject: [amsat-bb] g5400 AZ/EL control
I have been out of the SAT new station construction for a while. I use a
Uni_Trac on my station at home and have been for over 6 years.
Now I am building a station for someone else. I need to control a g5400b.
Is the LVB SatTracker from the Amsat store the way to go? Then use Sat32 to
control the radio and the LVB?
Any other ideas would be good, but this is for beginners and needs to be
simple to put together and use. So, prefer not to use the Adrino solution.
Thanks,
Mike

Message-ID: <55B80DBE.3030509@xxxxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
All:
I have an old Yaesu G-500A elevation rotator and a refurbished Yaesu
G-1000 DXA azimuth rotator that I'd like to use with a G-5500 controller.
I suspect the controller will work with the G-500A right out of the box,
but I don't know about the G-1000 DXA.
Any ideas?
Tony

Sadly, no. The sole author retired and I was not able to find any volunteers
to help keep it alive.
I'm open to restarting it, but that can only happen if one, preferably more,
step forward to pick it up.
However, there are several good web alternatives these days, such as DK3WN's
webpage, and the soon to be updated OSCAR satellite status pages.

I don't know exactly your question, but I assume you have a G-5500
controller, and one Elevation and one G-1000, and you would like to
control both from the G-5500 control box.
The G-1000 DXA is probably (nearly certainly) a DC motor, while that
control box expects and AC motor so outputs AC to the motor.
All is not lost. Assuming the G-1000 has a potentiometer feedback, you
could probably get the control box to turn on some relays with AC
coils, which in turn would switch on a DC supply with forward or
reverse, and you can keep the same feedback. Another option may be to
open the control box, and disconnect the AC for azimuth, and try
connect to a separate DC supply.
The manuals for the controllers are available on line. If you need me
to draw a diagram I can do so. I have used a DC actuator for elevation
which is a similar set up to your DC motor for azimuth.

Hi All,
Thanks to the cooperation between the BATC and AMSAT-UK, this years
colloquium footage is becoming available online already.
The BATC and AMSAT-UK teams are working to upload all video material on to
the AMSAT-UK YouTube account. (http://youtube.com/user/AMSATUK)
Video's will become available as soon as uploading is complete. Since the
high-definition files are rather large, please allow for some time for
editing and uploading.
For convenience, if you wish to watch the entire colloquium, go to the
playlist at

First of all, Thank you to all involved with ARISS and especially
these SSTV events and the diploma process. I know you are all
volunteers and just doing this in your free time.
Second, I should have submitted my images earlier, but I ended up only
submitting them on the 28th around 5:00 UTC
I downloaded the latest image on the archive, from KE8AKW and the
timestamp on the file is from the 25th.
The application requires we send links to our images as they appear on
the archive, and the deadline is the end of the month, so I am worried
it won't be updated in time for me to submit my application. Any
insight someone can offer on this?
Thank you.

I miss it too.
I would always save the update as a TXT file and have it
handy. It always listed the transponder and beacon

I plan to operate portable tomorrow (30 July) from DM90 on SO-50. My AOS is

If I work you, I'll send a QSL. No need for a SASE.
