;Configuration file for FodTrack 1.6
;===================================
;
;Do not alter the number of parameters; you may add or remove comment lines.
;
;
;Your call sign:
XQ2FOD
;
;
;Filename (and path, if necessary) to your kep file:
KEPS.2L
;
;
;Latitude of your station, decimal value, negative for south:
-29.9
;
;
;Longitude of your station, decimal value, negative for west:
-71.3
;
;
;Minimum elevation above or below horizon, at which you want FodTrack to
;begin and end tracking.
0
;
;
;Time step for flipping decision in seconds. Smaller time gives better
;assurance of correct flipping, but takes more calculation time.
300
;
;
;Azimuth rotator end stop position. 0 for south, 1 for north.
;This is the position where your rotator runs against a limit switch or
;mechanical stop. It is NOT the parking position.
0
;
;
;To reduce rotator wear, and if your antenna radiation pattern is fairly
;broad, you may specify a stepsize for rotator movement. The rotator will
;move only if the position error exceeds half this angle. It will then
;advance one full step. Suggested range is 5 to 20 degrees, or zero for
;best pointing accuracy.
10
;
;
;Flipping. 0 disables, 1 enables. Disable flipping only if your elevation
;rotator cannot move through 180 degrees, or if you don't have an elevation
;rotator.
1
;
;
;Antenna parking is generally not recommended, because it produces unneeded
;rotator wear. But if you have some special reason to park your antennas,
;you may do it by putting a 1 here. If you leave this at zero, the program
;will never access the interface except when a satellite is up.
0
;
;
;Parking azimuth, in degrees.
0
;
;
;Parking elevation, degrees.
0
;
;
;Address of Parallel port where you have your rotator connected, in hexadecimal.
;Use 0 to disable rotator output. You may use any parallel port. 378 is LPT1,
;278 is LPT2. Check docs for output format.
278
;
;
;Offset in hours between UTC and computer time (UTC minus CT). If you run your
;computer in UTC (recommended), use zero here.
0
;
;
;Type of radio: I for Icom, I2 for two Icoms, K for Kenwood TS790, Y for Yaesu
;FT736.
Y
;
;
;Address of serial port where you have your radio connected, in hexadecimal.
;Use 0 to disable radio output. 3F8 for COM1, 2F8 for COM2, 3E8 for COM3,
;2E8 for COM4. Nonstandard ports are supported.
2A0
;
;
;Baudrate for radio control port.
4800
;
;
;The address of your Icom radio: 42 for IC820, 2E for IC970. If your radio is
;not an Icom, leave this as is. If you are using two Icom radios, put here the
;address of the RX radio.
2E
;
;
;If you are using two Icom radios, put here the address for the TX radio.
3F
;
;
;If you want FodTrack to abort after a pass, put 1 here. This is not generally
;recommended, because FodTrack does not know where the rotator is when it
;starts up. This abort functions only in automatic and command line mode.
;The preferred method is leaving FodTrack running continuously (putting
;a 0 here).

;Colors. Numbers range from 0 to 15, color assignment is the normal one for
;your graphic card.
