[Hamlib-developer] Rotor Question

[Michael M. <cmo...@gm...>]

Mike, 
I am trying to use rotctl with one of my computer controlled rotor boxes.  It is put out by AF6SA (WRC - Wifi Rotator Controller).  It is supposed to be Yaesu GS-232 compatible and works ok with PST Rotator using a network connection with IP/Port.  When I try to use it with rotctl I am getting errors.  It appears to be connecting and getting a response but rotctl don’t like it.  I ran it at command line with trace option on:

michaelmorgan@Michaels-Mac-mini ~ % rotctl -vvvvv -m 602 -r 192.168.4.90:23 p
rotctl Hamlib 4.6~git 2024-08-23T13:40:16Z SHA=846a56 64-bit
