Thanks. Been there done that.
I saw that, GS232, under the CX6DD selection. No joy. I opened the DDE and
am able to control the rotors remotely so I know the com port is working,
but no tracking. Still pushing buttons. ?-!8^)?---?
Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side. ??

You won't.
IIRC, you select the Yaesu GS-232 protocol, but it's been so long since
I set mine up that I don't remember.

Have you selected the tracking function in the software? You click the
"R" button in the upper left corner of the display screen, and if it
indicates "R+" it should be able to control the rotors.
And don't forget to calibrate them! I use the command line function
("DOS Box") to do it, but again, I forget the name of the program I used.

Yep, calibrated. I don't see a "R" button on the display. In the World Map
display the program shows CX6DD (GS232) then "tracking stopped" when I point
at the sun. And the tracker points at the sun, I'll come back later and see
if it is tracking the sun. I can't find any birds visible from my QTH at
present.
The ISS just popped up.
I close the program then reopen it and the "tracking stopped" message is
gone, but so is the ISS.
I appreciate the assistance.
BTW, I'm using a G-5500 controller to control a G-450 az and G-500A el
rotors.?---?
Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side. ??

Found an in-view bird and it's tracking. The relays they be clicking. I have
no idea what I did. Probably because I didn't have a bird in view.
Pedro sent me that Amsat that helps a lot. Now bookmarked?Jim, thanks for
your assistance. I may be taking this to Burning Man this year.---?
Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side. ??

Perhaps worth try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe
Using wispdde controls Rotor & Dopplers
It is the executable of http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm

Yep, if the bird is below the horizon, most programs won't track it!
