    "content": "Bob,\n\nI use SATPC32 to drive both antennas and radio.  Using my FT-847 with the\nappropriate uplink and downlink converters, operating mode LU and VS on\nAO-51 is no different than VU or UV on FM.  As Erich mentioned, you can\ndrive two different radios easily enough.  \n\nAfter trying several rotator interfaces over the years, I am currently using\nthe Labjack with the Piggyback board.  (At the time, it was completely plug\nand play.  Northern Lights Software discontinued the Piggyback board,\nhowever, building an interface is easy for both the original and new Labjack\ndata logger.  See the accessory information at the bottom of the SATPC32\ndownload page.)  It takes its power from an USB port.  I use an old powered\nhub for it and some other connections which can get by with USB 1.1 speeds,\nas it provides a bit of protection to the computer.  \n\nAnother good alternative is the LVB tracker.  It just about stole the show\nat the AMSAT booth at Dayton.  Some assembly required, the amount depending\non features needed, but none of it is hard, and it will easily work with a\nserial or USB connection, and will of course drive your rotator controller.\nWorks fine with SATPC32, of course.  AMSAT-UK has some nice pictures at\nhttp://www.uk.amsat.org:8080/shop/Hardware/lvb_tracker_kits.php  AMSAT-NA\nand others have been considering putting together a full up kit, and perhaps\nsome assembled units.\n\nThere are many alternatives, and of course SATPC32 supports just about any\ntracking interface you could desire.  My suggestion is to get one of the\nnewer designs because they have much higher resolutions on the ADCs than the\nolder ones.  More than you can actually use, really, but room for growth.\nAlso, USB connection is a plus, since serial and parallel ports are rapidly\ngoing away, and the USB to serial/parallel converters are often less than\nsatisfactory.  Of course, if you come across a TrakBox, FODTrack, etc, etc,\nat a flea market, it might be just what suits you.\n\nFWIW,\n\nAlan\nWA4SCA\n\n\n\n",
