Me too.
I use synchros in three of my rotators, one HyGain and two homebrew.
At the moment I coupled a helipot mechanically to the receiving synchro for
presets and end of travel switching.
Synchros are still available on Ebay and military surplus shops so I will
continue to use them whenever I need a direction indicator but would like to
transfer bearing data to my contest program.
Hans, anymore info about the IC types and the application you are aware of?

There are commercial IC-s around that will do this. I know one application
where a virtual sychro is virtually rotated and the "C" is adjusted until
the V'1, V'2 and V'3 are as equal to the received signal as possible
(leaving room for variations in an unbalanced attenuation). You notice that
adjustment process as the output signal varies untill the readout stops at
the correct value.
Who will be the first to make a Ham-type software to decode the sychro
signal? I will be the first in line to get it.
