[Dx4win] Ver 8.05 and Green Heron rotor controller

[Kostas Stamatis]

I can explain how my rotator works. My rotator is a Yaesu g-1000 dxc with 
ERC control
File >preferences>rotator control
i have chosen Hygain dcu1. you probably should have green heron
After that under rotator>parameters  in QSO window you should setup every 
band
There are choises as disambled (i have it for 160m-30m), normal (i have it 
for 20m-10m) or with offset (maybe someone is needed this for a 40m dipole 
which has installed along the boom).
After all these, when i am in qso window (hit f9 to go directly) and my 
radio is in one band where the parameter is set as normal or with offset, 
and i put a callsign and i hit f11 the rotator starts moving and goes where 
it is expected to go.
Don't forget that you should have all these:
1. be in qso window and
2. have a callsign and
3. be on a band where rotator is needed (and you have told it to dx4win) and
4.press f11
