Alfa mode RAK
Seems to work well.

tested.
- Current models
support RS232 directly.
- Older models came with the serial
interface
level shifter cable.
A serial 9 pin male to 9 pin female cable with
the level shifter is
required.
- USB to serial adapters should work.
- Very old units, used parallel port
interface. It is possible to update to serial RS232 but not cost
effective for AlfaRadio Ltd. to make this upgrade.
If you have a older unit and wish to upgrade, there is upgrade
policy. Please contact AlfaRadio
Ltd. for current price.
- NON LISTED SOFTWARE:
- Most software should work if it supports Yaesu type
rotators.
When using the controller in emulation mode please ensure
that:
The baud rate is 1200, 8 data, 1 stop for the AZ
units ( RAK)
and 600, 8 Data,1 Stop for AZ/EL units (RAS).
The controller must be set to " A " mode with the " F "
button
The controller must be set be to the emulation mode
you are using ie. Yaesu
P5 should be set to Y ... P5 Y ... set with the S Button
We have not tested
all software.

software that works please send us the link.
If you are the
developer or know of software that works please
