OK, that's identical to the Fox Delta ST1 kit.

Have you calibrated it?

The procedure is here, on the Fox Delta page:

        While working with the 8 teachers at Teachers' Institute II, I
        had a
        variety of computer operating systems.  We had some odd
        behavior with the
        Win7 machines, but I am not sure if this was a fluke or a pattern.

        We were using SatPC32 v12.8b with the SAEBRTrackBox setting in the
        software, and the students with issues were running Win7.  The
        G5500's did
        not always respond as expected.  For example, if we commanded
        it to move to
        45 degrees elevation, it would, but if we manually entered 179
        degrees it
        would drop down to about 25 degrees.  The fix seemed to be to
        set the
        turning point of azim rotor under the 'Rotor Setup" to S
        instead of N.  I
        am running v12.8a and have not trouble with the exact same set
        up and I am
        set to 'N".

        Has anyone else experienced this?  In my trouble shooting, I
        believe I was
        able to trace it back to the computers/software.  Any thoughts?

        Thanks in advance.

        Matt, N8MS
