[WT-support] wtRotators - wrong Baud rate for Spid RAK

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

See page 14 of the AlphaSpid RAK
Manual<http://alfaradio.ca/docs/manuals/tobe_RAK/AlfaSpid_Rotator_RAK_Manual_04April2013_Master.pdf>.
 You can switch the AlphaSpid into Hygain mode using the Program Simulation
Menu (PS H).  Then in wtRotators, change the rotator type to Hygain DCU-1.

Another option is to replace wtRotators with PstRotatorsAz by
YO3DMU<http://www.qsl.net/yo3dmu/index_Page346.htm>;
it is reported to work well with various hardware and it is 100% compatible
with Win-Test if properly configured.
