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.

Point and shoot at the direction with the mouse to select the direction. The PST rotor software includes software to communicate with the Denkovi boards as well as others. I use two of these at the remote station for selecting both Beverage and the 9 circle directions.
