Re: [amsat-bb] Lock on Tracking

Hi Rod
  I have thought about building a system that would work by using the signal
strength from the satellite as reference than a simple error amplifier
circuit to drive the AZ-El. But this may be very difficult if the signal
from the satellite fluxuates allot. With fast enough circuits and motors, it
seems possible, but it would probably take a good computer programmer to
develop a workable algorithm.
My thoughts
