[Dx4win] Ver 8.05 and Green Heron rotor controller

[Kostas Stamatis]

Larry
the rotor tab is not needed. I have not open this window at all.
When the logging field be populated you are ready to press f11 and the 
interface will do the rest.
Forget the rotor tab. Theoritically, you need to use it if you need to go in 
a specific direction. Usually when i want to rotate the antenna to USA for 
example i write W1 in the call and press f11. I never use it....
Hope this helps
