[Logic] Re: Support For Stacked Antenna Systems

[dh at hosenose.com]

Hi Hank:

Sorry, LOGic supports only two rotors at this time.  The reference 
to 4 rotors in help is a misprint.  But when you get four rotors set up 
to test, I'll fix LOGic to handle four. The internal setup is there for 
four rotors--I just haven't done the user interface to them.  Let's get 
two working first hihi.

LOGic talks to each rotor thru a COM port.  It doesn't talk to TIC's 
software.

The current .101 beta at ftp://hosenose.com (NOT the official 
update link from the web page, folks!) supports aiming stacks 
across two rotors.  There are new rotor setup fields in the band 
table,  For each band, you can specify which rotor(s) if any to be 
used on that band, and an offset for each.  So, you now have auto 
rotor selection, PLUS you can aim BOTH rotors if you want.  Enter 
the same offset for each to aim them both in the same direction.  
Why put up a phased log-periodic array hihi.  Or set them to offsets 
with a 90-degree difference to decouple them.

I think this scenario will handle anything you need.  Pse contact me 
by phone or at my personal email if any questions.  Let me know 
when you get it set up at any rate!

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY
