Many modern control boxes such as the M2 RC2800PX, Green Heron RT-2x series, Yaesu GS-232, MDS RC-1, and HyGain DCU series controllers have computer control capability. Integrating with Logbook and Satellite Tracking, Rotator Control manages beam headings via any computer interfaced rotator controller. Satellite Tracking automatically calculates Doppler shift for the satellite’s transponders and sends tuning data to Rig Control, keeping your radio locked in the transponder’s passband. Real-time tracking feeds azimuth and elevation information directly to rotator control for automated positioning of satellite antenna systems. A real-time link to Google Earth allows one to see what the satellite “sees” as it flies overhead – great for presentations!
Customizable visualization keep you apprised of the satellite’s foot print, projected path, and predicted elevation for given passes. Using the latest orbital mechanics equations and up-to-the-minute Keplerian element information downloaded from a variety of trusted sources, you can predict satellite passes with confidence. Ham Radio Deluxe’s Satellite Tracking module takes the guesswork out of satellite operations. Digital Master works with a variety of audio and multimode interfaces including the Timewave Navigator, SignaLink USB, and West Mountain Radio RigBlaster. Once the QSO is complete, Digital Master interfaces directly with Logbook to record the contact. You can stay on top of the action with Digital Master’s SuperSweeper, allowing you to copy up to 40 QSO’s at once in CW, RTTY or PSK. True frequency shift keying (FSK) and audio frequency shift keying (AFSK) keying are available for RTTY operation. For the CW enthusiast, Digital Master interfaces with the popular K1EL WinKeyer. Digital Master is capable of a wide range of digital modes, including CW, RTTY, SSTV, PSK31, MT-63, and more. Digital Master uses your computer’s soundcard interface and radio connection to offer a wide range of communications options to the amateur radio operator.
