I'm using version 2.5.2 (001) and the rotor turns when I click LongPath or Short Path. It also moves when I enter a bearing and hit enter but it doesn't move when I click Turn Left or Turn Right. I do believe I have the right settings as it moves when I select the path and the correct Azimuth shows on the display.

Hi Mick!
Some rotators do not accept move command "M".
When cqrlog is running and other rotator functions work open command console and type
telnet 127.0.0.1 4533
If you do not have telnet installed you get error and you have to install telnet package first.
When telnet opens type commands "M 8 100", "M 16 100" You can also type commands "M 8 -1" and "M 16 -1"
[saku@hamtpad ~]$ telnet 127.0.0.1 4533
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
M 8 100
RPRT 0
M 16 100
RPRT 0
M 8 -1
RPRT 0
M 16 -1
RPRT 0
If you get "RPTR 0" and you rotor turns it should turn also with cqrlog buttons. If you get any other RPRT and rotor does not turn you rotor does not support turns by "M" command.
Close telnet with "Q"
After that you can type "man rotctld" to get more information about rotctld commands.

Many thanks, I will just have to make do. Most of the functions work except turn left or right manually. I can use the other functions.
