Bidirectional antenna heading
Posted: Sat 21. Jan 2023, 12:49
I was working at 40M, where my antenna is a rotary dipole and it is configured in the Settings>Antennas>40m=checked, that is as bidirectional.
The antenna was at 406 degrees (that is 46 degrees past 360) and I clicked on HA (Hungary) heading button, which is at 342 degrees from my location KM17VW. The command sent to rotor was "Turn to 162". I believe it should be "Turn to 342", which is less distance from 406 to 342, instead to 162.
