[Dx4win] Rotator Yaesu

[AC0W]

Milan,

Yes you are correct the RS232 is an expensive solution. However, at the time
I purchased the rotor there was not any alternatives available yet, this was
at least 15 years ago. Since I already have the RS232 and all the software I
use except DX4WIN works with the RS232 I am not willing to spend the money
on a different interface just for one software package.

Bill,

Yaesu RS-232 is quite expensive solution.

I think you can use

I've inquired about this in the past as DX4WIN does not support the Yaesu
rotors. I have provided all the information to add it into DX4WIN. The
response I have received in the past is to purchase an interface box (I
forget the name right now but it was roughly $400 US) at another significant
investment. So my Yaesu rotor is not controlled by DX4WIN while the several
other applications I have can control it.

If I have to make an significant investment for DX4WIN to communicate to my
Yaesu Rotor that investment will most likely be a different general purpose
logger that can communicate without the special interface box.

Hello,

 

I'm using the rotor control DXA from K4JRG.

Is anybody use this with DX4WIN ?

I did not see any Yaesu DXA rotators listed (GS-232 protocol) which is what
Yaesu DXA rotor use. 

Many thanks for any information.
