ok dave, guess your kc tracker had the relays built-in mine had the
relay drivers but i had to create the relay interface. i believe you
are correct on the yaesu rotors, i didn't use the yaesu rotor so i
had to create a way for the rotor data to be feed to the kc
tracker. i also remember qt4 and several others for the
satellites. i had a program called silicon emphersis or something
like that smile. it didn't after 2000 so that was the end of that
program. there was a program called the second op written by kl7grf
and it had a satellite tracking section in it. that was also a dos
app. ok dave, guess we beat this horse to death grin, take care, c u
