[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1074015, member: 176704"] Curiosity prods me to guess/ask how the Megasat twin axis control system works! Having looked at the web page showing the control box, it has only F-connectors, wired Ethernet, USB & power connections. Therefore it seems to me that it probably uses the normal USALS signals for Azimuth control, and then "piggybacks" other signals onto the same cable to control the Elevation because it appears to have automatic control of both Azimuth & Elevation. Can anyone confirm that, or give alternative explanations/guesses? PS: And if the Megasat system does work like that, doesn't it imply that some clever designers could do the same for "normal" steerable sat systems to provide "USALS type" twin axis control without the need for all the extra control kit & cabling that is needed for something like the Jaeger 1224?
