[amsat-bb] GS-232B with Nova

Has anyone used the GS-232B/G-5500 combo with Nova? Are there any issues, pitfalls, problems or work-arounds with the set-up and calibration in Nova?

I am going to be setting-up one of these systems tomorrow. Others have tried and have not been able to properly calibrate and operate the rotor to track satellites. I do not know what their exact problems are but I will see for myself tomorrow.

Also, this set-up will be using a laptop and a USB-to-serial converter. I may have to try a couple different ones to get one that works properly.

Thanks,
