    In my experience using KCT/T system with the driver writen by F6FBB kctpos
    needs Az as well as El values
    on the command line i.e. for example

    kctpos 140 10

    It cannot work without modification with AZ only.

    Also it will wait until it receives the information from both rotors that the
    Az and El values are correct.
    Thus, if you have both rotors but do not switch on your elevation rotor, the
    program will wait for a long long time....
