Chris,
There's a few options
- LVB Tracker that you can still get on AMSAT-UKs shop - Foxdelta ST2 lvb clone - ERC-M - EA4TX ars
There's many others including homebrew, and some very expensive commercial units.
I'd suggest one of those four, I'm currently using the ERC-M with good success.

As opposed to paying the $ for an authentic GS-232B, I see the following item come up a lot in my EBay feed, and I'm left to wonder if it is worth trying:

That, or I spring for a Green Heron, right?
What do you think? What other options should I consider?
