[WT-support] WT and Rotators

[Volker Debus]

Hello,

have been using  Win- Test for almost 20 years now… never got wt- rotator to work properly. My advice: use PstRotator instead.

Both rotators are controlled by one interface, the really perfect ERC-M by DF9GR. The interface requires only one COM-Port for both rotators. I run e.g. LOGGER32, which is able to control both rotators with this one interface. That means: in LOGGER32 I can use rotator one (radio 1) AND rotator two (radio 2) with the same COM-port. Unfortunately the rotator-control in WT is not that "up-to-date" or: "wt-rotators" is not able to have a case like this configured.

I asked this previously in March 2022 (18. and 20.) but there unfortunately was no response from the programmers. Maybe meanwhile there´s a change of mind concerning this?
