+2 for the Fox Delta kits! After beating around with an FODTrack, and a "Satellite Tracker Sr.", I bought one of the Fox Delta kits. I had it built in a few hours, and up, calibrated, and running a couple of hours after I set my station up out on the back porch. Works *perfectly* with SatPC2 using the "Easycom" protocol, and as someone else said here, now that I have my station under full PC control, I can concentrate on communicating! 73, Jim

OK, a newbee question about interfacing rotors. I have a Yaesu 5500 and I run PCSat32. What do I need between the rotor and the computer? I would like a few options. Do I need the Yaesu 232 interface box or will a generic box do the job. If a generic box will work, which are the best for satellite work with PCSat32?
Tnx 73 Bill K3SV
