KVH Antenna Tracking Unit
I have an obsolete KVH Tracphone antenna AU900A that has an integral
gyrocompass and inclinometer. The servos and gearing would make a great land-based positioning device. I would also like to experiment with the internal gyrocompass and inclinometer. KVH tech support will only tell me that the interface for the units is "proprietary". Does anyone have any experience with the KVH gyrocompass (020692 33 - 8 wire) and inclinometer (02 0693 21 - 6 wire) used in earlier tracphone antennas? I have tried interfacing the serial RS422 port on the antenna PCU controller board -- no joy. The antenna always parks North and responds to changes in position, so I believe the gyrocompass and inclinometer are functioning. Anyone have any knowledge about these units that they would be willing to share? Hank S. Ft. Lauderdale hanks424 (at) yahoo.com |
