Hi Trevor,
It is very well described in the PST user manual, but can be a bit confusing.
First of all you create a second “instance" of PST rotator. (or however many
you need.)
Under settings select “Relay board”
When you do this it will open another window called ‘Relays”
On that Relay window, under setup click Relays and you will see all the
possible relays that will work with the program. In my case I select the
Denkovi product. (Note that the KMtronic WEB board will be truly IP addressable
which is best if you don't control the station from the PC at the remote like I
do via TeamViewer.)
Then select board setup to configure the USB addy or IP addy connection.
Then select “automatic control setup” and a new window pops up…in that window
select Azimuth. There you select which relay is what direction. (notice you can
also select time as a selection parameter or band etc for other functions)
Finally, back on the relay setup make sure you select “automatic control” ie
toggle it ON
Codrut, YO3DMU is **very** responsive and will respond right away via email
with any questions.
