Hi all, Here is a pix of a demo I did in NJ with the LVB tracker attached to a G5500 Yaesu. It isn't that big but it sure is a great attention getter at any hamfest or demo you present. This way you can show the LVB tracker actually being used.. You need more space like outdoors for an arrow attached...-Have a fun "Dramatic Sight!" 73, Dee, NB2F

I have an inquiry from a gentleman who would like to show the "dramatic sight" of a computer-controlled small Yagi tracking a satellite while in a convention booth - but not necessarily a full-blown Yaesu G-5500.
If I am not making sense, just ask ... (grin)
He is thinking 12VDC, laptop, just a six-foot mast with an Arrow-like antenna, Ham Radio Deluxe(?), "smaller" radio like a FT-817ND)?) ...
Brainstorming welcome!
Many thanks.
