[Dxbase] Green Heron Rotor control box settings

[Peter Dougherty]

Hi,

I just bought a Green Heron RT-20 control box for use on my Yaesu 
G-1000 DXA. After some initial problems with DX Base not setting the 
correct heading (other rotor control apps were working fine and 
port/communications were set properly), I called Jeff at Green Heron.

The HR-20 uses the DCU-1 protocol, but it *won't* work with the same 
settings that the Idiom Press rotor card did. He suggested the 
following settings, which, when implemented, worked perfectly.

Rotor Type:     HYG-DCU1
Initialize:     AP1#;AM1;
Turn Rotor:     (empty)
Stop Rotor:     ; (just a semi-colon)

Click the "Character" radio button and Use leading zeros in degrees 
should be checked, and Use Delay should NOT be checked.

Just wondering if it would be possible for DXB 2008 to have a default 
setting for the HR-20 box with these settings?



Cheers,

Peter,
