History: sarctrac mk1 and mk2 used to have their own integrated web servers and tracker applications. by popular demand, sarctrac mk3 was able to use any third party, external tracker. however, for sarctrac mk4, we decided to build a completely new tracker, from scratch, in python.

For several years we were content to set up our portable sarctrac system whenever we wanted to work satellites. however, for a permanent installation, we needed a heavy duty rotator which could handle a 1.8m parabolic dish or couple of cross polarised yagi antennas. Recently we've come across another low cost satellite rotator from australia called the 'sarctrac mk3b' which was developed as part of a school amateur radio educational program. The sarctrac update process will first restore the sarctrac archive file and then any separate configuration files found in the root folder of the sarctrac usb disk.
