Greetings all.

Wondering if anyone could recommend a basic AZ-only rotator that is
compatible with Orbitron?

I was hoping to find perhaps a low-cost television antenna rotator (or
similar) to give me some automation in the AZ direction without the expense
of a full AZ-EL system.

Something that works on 12vDC for portable operation would be a nice bonus,
but is certainly not mandatory.

Thanks!

Please be aware that the dinner count for the AMSAT Symposium banquet has
to be sent to the hotel by October 14th.  So, if you want to join us at the
banquet, *you MUST register online by Sunday, October 11th*.  After that

Scott,
For portable operation I use a large geared RC servo and a small servo
tester wired together. It runs off of a tiny 6V LiPo battery. I ordered the
geared servo with a 8 inch plastic disc on top. That makes it easy to mount
a PVC boom for my antennas. It's on a camera tripod so that I just tilt the
tripod to the proper elevation.

Here is the servo.

Here is the controller.

Did anyone hear LilacSat-2 on the 23:03 UTC pass? I didn't, and according to
the FM transponder schedule it should have been on. Heard telemetry every 30
seconds or so, but no voice.

Same thing at my QTH. I expected it to be on the air. Caught the XW-2E's
pass and worked some stations then went outside with the arrow antenna for
LilacSat-2.

Did not hear Lilac on the 23:00 Pass. But I just heard it on the 0:35 Pass
but it was rough for me 6 Degrees. Lilac sounds good on the east coast.

Nick,

It also sounded good on the pass after that, around
0210 UTC. Two west-coast stations (W7KKE & KB5WIA),
with KG7NXH here in the Phoenix area and (briefly,
with one degree elevation) AA5PK in west Texas were
on with me. I operated from the driveway in front
of my house, with the radio on my car's hood. A
nice evening to be on the radio. :-)

Bob,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Which version of Windows are you
running?? This is tested on Windows 7, 8 and 10.? No guarantees on versions
of Windows before that.

I don't recognize the error or the reference to VBrun.? FoxTelem does not
use Visual Basic or the run time environment.? It uses Java.? Make sure
you have the latest version installed from java.com.

Orbitron outputs azimuth and elevation normally to a serial port or a
USB to serial. Any device/controller would need to accept the
commands, and then control the rotator.

Most low cost TV rotators do not have position feedback POT, meaning
they are not readily compatible with controllers. They are also
generally low voltage AC so not suitable for portable use.

There is no portable rotator system designed for arrow type antennas.
Some people make counter weights and tripod based manual adjustments.

In terms of 12VDC light duty rotators SPID's light duty azimuth only
rotator may suffice:
http://www.rfhamdesign.com/products/spx-light-antenna-rotator/spx-azimuth-roto
r/index.php

However there are some drawbacks. It is not exactly light. You would
need a heavy duty possibly TV camera rather than photo camera tripod.
You would need to manufacture a custom mount. The LED display is
impossible to see in strong sunlight. It would need to be oriented
North or South using a compass each time. It can run from 12VDC to
18VDC. I am not certain it would work with Orbitron, but you could
check directly with SPID in Poland, as it is designed for azimuth
only. In terms of Orbitron, I would recommend moving to SATPC32 as it
is better supported. Orbitrons TLE download is not working well and no
longer seems to be supported. There are work arounds, ask if you need
more info. Finally using a laptop and rotator portable normally needs
a car to protect the laptop from rain and the cars battery to power
the rotator. I power my laptop from a 13.8V to AC inverter.

Any other rotator option would probably need to be home made, as
nothing is really available off the shelf.

I am listening to digital telemetry on Satellite LilacSat-2 437.190
(USB) at the moment. I do not recognize the audible type and thus can
not try to decode it. Roughly around 1048Z .

I thought I was going to be hearing the CW beacon of 437.200. Instead
there was this odd-sounding telemetry.

Can I use either MixW or UISS for this?

The FM transponder was reportedly on at that time, so you may have been
hearing the FM carrier.
