Milan, Yes you are correct the RS232 is an expensive solution. However, at the time I purchased the rotor there was not any alternatives available yet, this was at least 15 years ago. Since I already have the RS232 and all the software I use except DX4WIN works with the RS232 I am not willing to spend the money on a different interface just for one software package.

I have provided all the information to add it into DX4WIN. The response I have received in the past is to purchase an interface box (I forget the name right now but it was roughly $400 US) at another significant investment. So my Yaesu rotor is not controlled by DX4WIN while the several other applications I have can control it. If I have to make an significant investment for DX4WIN to communicate to my Yaesu Rotor that investment will most likely be a different general purpose logger that can communicate without the special interface box.

I did not see any Yaesu DXA rotators listed (GS-232 protocol) which is what Yaesu DXA rotor use. Many thanks for any information. 73 F8CIL Pascal _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
