[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 902622, member: 178786"] They come with an option to have different circuit boards installed, ie Az over El or El over Az. This defines the priority switching for dual axis antenna control when tracking inclined orbit satellites. They are not cheap unless you get a 2nd user one from eBay or similar, even then you could be looking at $600 or more, $2000 or more for a brand new one depending on which circuit boards are factory fitted. They keep an auto lock on inclined orbit satellites via algorithms loaded into the unit, for inclined orbit tracking you need the RC2000C model not the plain RC2000 model. They can store up to 30 satellites in memory of which five can be tracked automatically for inclined orbit. You need to keep the software regularly updated to cope with fluctuations re inclined orbit satellites, possibly by regular uploading of the two line element sets that define satellite orbits. The two line element sets can be downloaded from Celestrack, you need the geotrack two line element set for geostationary satellites. Rgds [/QUOTE]
