Hello Misko and all
I forgot to mention in my previous follow up response.
I also have a master pactor 'partner fbb forward file'
that's called during the hourly forward cycle, that
configures the rotator
(via the same RS232 cable that linfbb controls the SCS PTCiipro
forwarding to the TS-480SAT transceiver, Rotator controller beam heading
(using HAM M rotators), Aerials, depending
on GMT time of day (not currently working as the current
HAM M VX has jammed Summer last year :(.... )
Stuck beaming Long Path VK...
Forwarding times different beam headings (five movements in 24 hours)
and Power Levels.
OH! as well as linfbb User access to Gateway frequencies
and Interfaces.
And with the second TS-480SAT I could run Robust Packet
via the second interface(port2) on the PTCiipro at the same time
or Split the Pactor services across the two radios.
(Once they have been repaired)
Or another Pactor interface with the other PTCiipro/TS-480SAT.
Configuration schematic
PC-SVR<RS233>Rotor Controller<rs232>PTCiipro(port1)
<rs232>Radio-TS480SAT<HF Beam port1>,
Trapped vertical or wire dipole port2)
Each pactor partner forward files,
controls frequency and time of the session agreed and fits in
with my pactor partner operating schedules.
Worked very well for years. On my third HAM rotator. :(.....
since November 2005.
Yes before you ask! Took a long time to get this this
configuration that met my requirements.
PS
The above Currently not running as both my TS-480SAT's
failed last year with ATU issue
Waiting for local
Kenwood Service Centre repair service
to confirm they are repaired.
