My boss has informed me that he'd like to acquire a computer- controllable pan/tilt mount, suitable for mounting an antenna on it (so a mount rated at 6 lb.s max is very unlikely to suffice).
This would be for outdoor use -- indeed, probably on a motor vehicle. He'd also like to be able to have a GPS in the system, and enough "smarts" in the controlling program to be able to provide the program the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the target antenna, and have the computer-controlled mount get within a few degrees of it. (One idea is to mount a camera along with the antenna, so if the remote antenna is visible via the camera, that should be very close for the antenna.) At some point, he'd like the device to be able to track the remote antenna in something fairly close to real time. (The requirements are not mine....) Anyone have experience with -- or know anything about -- such things? Of course, the more expensive it is, the less appealing it will be.... [Yes, I'll summarize private responses.] Thanks!
