Supported rotator controllers
Web Radio Control uses open-source software called Hamlib for controlling antenna rotators. Hamlib provides support for a wide variety of rotator controllers.
In some cases, Hamlib may not offer support for seldom-used features and control commands or it may be that some less common features may not work correctly.
If you encounter issues controlling your radio, please file a bug report to
Hamlib developers or alternatively to Web Radio Control
developers by sending an email bug report to support (at) webradiocontrol.tech.
Tested rotator models
The following rotator controller models have been thoroughly tested with Web Radio Control:
-
Prosistel D (CBOX) + PST-61D (azimuth)
-
RemoteQTH single rotator interface (Yaesu GS-232B) + Yaesu G-400
-
Several different Yaesu GS-232-compatible rotator controllers
All supported rotator models
