Hi Mike, Jerry,
I have a unitrac 2003. I worked fine on my Dell desktop with XP using
NOVA and G5500 rotors.
I had some issues with the computer so I upgraded new HP with Windows
7. The controller
would not work. I emailed John G3BVU/W1. This is part of his reply:
( /As you have discovered U-2000 (and U-2003) are not 64-bit
programmes. And there's no hope of getting them up-dated to 64 bits. //
// I too love U-2000. Although we have been selling U-2003 for
several years, I still have U-2000 in my personal tracking system. I
like 2000 much better than 2003. I too use NOVA to drive it. /)
My old Dell with XP was 32 bit and the new HP with win 7 is 64 bit
only. I now use SatPC32 with
LVB tracker and same antennae rotors.
Hope this may shed some light on the questions.
73, Dale KL7XJ

Mike,
I have the same combo and tried a Win 7 machine (laptop) with a USB-to-Parallel
adapter to no avail (I'm neither a PC guru nor patient). I gave up and just
keep a legacy machine running XP for this controller. It has worked reliably
since I bought it more than a decade ago.

Greetings,
I'm still running a Uni-Trac Parallel port interface with ZL2AMD's Uni-Trac
3.0.b software on Windows XP to control a Yaesu G5400B. Yes its old, and
yes, it works fine. It even has DDE capability to run it from SATPC32,
which is credited to DK1TB (Erich - SATPC32 Author).
Question, is there anyone out there using this tracker on an O/S
later/other than Windows XP ?
(If so, I'd be interested in the details)
