Hi Andrew,

I was curious if you figured out what to do.

I currently am using Orbitron. I am also using WispDDE since the output can
be Easycomm 1. The AZ/EL/Freq data is sent from WispDDE out a virtual serial
port back to software I have written. I don't actually have a rotor but I
need the EL data. I am using this mobile so many applications running is too
much. I am hoping to eliminate the WispDDE layer.

It would be sweet if this could be sent out TCP with no response needed.

I am working with VB and am not familiar with C. Although, I imagine I can
figure it out.

For anyone following this, the Easycomm is below.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Fred, N7FMH


EASYCOMM I Standard
-------------------

The EasyComm 1 standard is a simple ASCII character based standard for
controling antennas and rotators.

The host PC issues a single line command as follows -:
AZaaa.a ELeee.e UPuuuuuuuuu UUU DNddddddddd DDD

The Az and El values (aaa.a and eee.e) are not fixed width.  They are in
degrees and include 1 decimal place.

The Up and Dn frequencies are in Hz.

UUU and DDD are the uplink and downlink mode.

Charles.

When I use NETCAT, the TCP connection drops out after a few messages 

Is that how it supposed to work ?

linux:/maint/scripts # netcat -l -t -p 4532
F  145892577
F  145892578
F  145892578

Antenna port

linux:/maint/scripts # netcat -l -t -p 4533

  They are TCP. The rotor.one sends az el with one character ahead of it and
queries. 

  Modifying this was suggested to get your aprs stream.
