And this is where it SHOULD stand...this is a hobby...it is for personal
satisfaction, not for every Tom, Dick and Harry to criticize in open
forum without knowing the personal circumstances.
If you want to criticize something that affects Satellite Operations...
lets start listing the call signs of the alligators and misfits on the
FM sats and discuss their operating "conditions."
Its easy to jump on the little guy...let's see if one of you wants to
take on the REAL problems...
Ed...this is not intended for you...I think you quote was a fair summation.

The display on the control box reads correct elevation, but on my digital
display on the Easy Rotor Controller shows erratic elevation position. I
have recalibrated it several times with no success. It won't read any
elevation until it is around 20? give or take. It also seems to have become
worse since our really cold temps set in. My best guess is the pot in the
rotor, but not sure where to start in the process.
Thanks in advance

This sounds more like a problem with the calibration pot(s) within the
control box. The control box has a set for the meters and another set
for the digital/computer control of the rotator. I would expect the
meters to also read incorrectly if the pot in the rotor was a problem.

Hi all,
SO-67 is on over Europe this week.
You can see the planned times on:
http://www.amsatsa.org.za/
For the best result try to use normal FM but turn the mike gain down until
your audio sounds good.
Do not use the CTCSS tone.

I'm not sure why everyone is arguing about this. It happened on an FM bird,
so it really doesn't matter. They'll probably work each other again a
couple dozen times over the next 30 days and when they do, they'll thank
each other again for the NEW grid...
Just like everyone does else there.
