Fw: [Dxbase] Fw: Green Heron Engineering Rotor Control and DXbase2007

Fri Jul 25 21:19:01 EDT 2008

The solution to this problem (not serious enough to be an "issue" :-) ) is:

Tools, Options, User Options, Rotor-1, check "Use leading zeros in degrees" box.

Works fine now.

I have an RT-21 controller here that functions as it should on another logger.
When using this unit with DXbase 2007 all seems to function OK on Long Path
move requests but
on Short Path move requests  there is either no movement or there is a
movement but
to an incorrect azimuth. I have set the default settings (DCU-1) in the rotor
control (number 1) window and activated the rotor control in the rotor options
window. Using another logger
that provides a rotor control debug window I see:

Example: Heading SP of 60 degrees.  'AP1060;<cr>AM1;<cr>'
               LP request for same target.
'AP1240;<cr>AM1;<cr>'

Both of the above cause the correct movement. I cannot see what the DXbase
commands are. Maybe I am missing another setting within DXbase?

Thanks for reading de Joe/W6RLL
