SatPC32, and a LVB tracker running off a USB to serial adapter, works very well, and you'll pick up many features in the new software.

Wanting to upgrade my ham computer from XP/P4 to something newer and faster. Have used Nova, AEA ST-1, and Yaesu G-5500 for ever. Have a nice HP quad core machine with W7, that I cannot get to work with the ST-1, says cannot initialize port. Tried a couple of other units with same results, so I suspect it has something to do with the newer parallel ports.
So what am I missing ???
I would prefer to use a USB port of course, but cannot find any controllers now that are ready to go, or will work with Nova. I am trying to stay with Nova and the Yaesu G-5500
What is everyone else using these days?
