SARCTRAC Mk3 Satellite Antenna Rotator Controller and TRACker
SARCTRAC is a portable, integrated, satellite tracking system, which is now available as a fully assembled, tested and calibrated product. It provides a wireless connection to the same Windows or Linux PC and satellite tracking software you use to control your Amateur Radio transceiver (rig). With a SARCTRAC system and your own equipment you can listen to orbiting space beacons, make two-way satellite contacts and use free, third-party software to download earth images and decode satellite telemetry. It's both fun and educational! This is our third-generation product, utilizing an innovative 3D magnetometer/accelerometer to determine the absolute position of the antenna. For more information see: https://www.sarcnet.org/products.html#SARCTRACkit The purpose of the School Amateur Radio Club Network® is to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in schools, through the world-wide resources of Amateur Radio. We are looking for individual Amateur Radio operators and Amateur Radio Clubs interested in setting up their own School Amateur Radio Clubs. See: https://www.sarcnet.org/default.html for more details. Fact check: The rotator is shown running a built-in demo, as there were no high passes available at the time of filming. The Gpredict window was photo-shopped in because the laptop screen was not visible in direct sunlight.
