That is a workaround, but it seems the true bug may be in the rotator
backend that you're using.  The version of Hamlib on your system is
quite old, 4.5.4 as I recall, that was released well over two years ago.
Quite a bit of work has taken place since then, I'm unsure how much was
directed at the backend you're using.  Anyway, should you get the chance
to upgrade to a newer version, it would be nice to know if it accepts
'ttyUSB0' because on your version what I saw it acts like it's hard
coded for 'ttyS0'.

The current stable release is 4.6.2 and I plan to release 4.6.3 at the
end of the month.  Unfortunately, those probably won't be available in
Raspberry Pi OS until it updates to the next stable version of Debian.

73, Nate
