Hi Philip, The obvious answer is to select "Meade LX200GPS" on the "Telescope - Interface Protocol" menu (and make sure that your firmware is V1.5c or later)....
I'd add that it is occasionally necessary, after selecting the mount, to manually set the slider on the opening page to Continuous. Mine has, on rare ...
I have the latest (V2.4.8) SatelliteTracker software! I did not have it in LX200GPS. I had it in LX200. My bad :-) And Andy thanks for obvious answer. ... or ...

Hi Darwin, ... scopes work? Personally, I think that the answer is "rather poorly". I've tried it on the ISS with my 8" LX200R and found that its prediction of...
... As a newbie at this satellite tracking, I agree with all you said. At the moment, I use a 0.33x focal reducer on my 12" LX200GPS for "training" even though...
OK that looks like we're on the right track (so to speak). I obtained my UTC offset from my PC, which is checked for Daylight Savings. However, Since...
I went back and looked at the pass from last night & also forward to another ISS pass. The -6 UTC offset does take care of this 30 minute offset. Calsky &...

... Well... you don't want to tick off people you KNOW own guns... Meade is an anomaly. I have never seen a company with an "F" rating from the BBB, stay in...
