To clarify, do step 5 and the others in the wtRotators program, not in Win-Test. In Win-Test you do need to select Windows, Rotators, then right click on that Rotators windows and select Local wtRotatators | Start/Stop automatically.<br>
<br>It would be more consistent if this setting were under Win-Test Options like DX Cluster | Local wtDxTelnet | Stat/Stop automatically, but it is not. You have to right click on the Rotators Window.<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br>

Hi,<br>
I seem to have a small problem with WinTest 4 rotator.<br>
On the rotator part I have installed Hy-Gain DCU-1 (my rotator is a G-1000<br>
coupled with the rotor card DXA from Idiom Press)<br>
Linked with a USB serial adapter (all work with other software Logger32 -<br>
HRD).<br>
<br>
So the problem is with the command<br>
<br>
ALT F12 - No function<br>
CTRL F12 - No function<br>
Nothing on the green screen (only -- -- -- --)<br>
When I click on the left arrow the antenna turn but cw right<br>
When I click on the right arrow the antenna turn also on cw right<br>
When I right click on the green windows and click on an angle all is working<br>
well !!!<br>
<br>
Other thing with the last example. If I'm between 0 and 180° the 2 arrows<br>
give a cw right<br>
But if I'm on the portion between 180 and 360° the two arrows give only a<br>
ccw left<br>
<br>
In Option Win-Test Network Properties all seem to be ok<br>
<br>
Any ideas or suggestion ?<br>
<br>
