I agree with Craig, my Fox Delta LVB tracker has worked flawlessly for several years now. Great price, great service, nice kit.

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:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotator-Control-Interface-Board-with-Cable-US B-232B-for-YAESU-G-800-1000-2800DXA/124009089208?hash=item1cdf8488b8:g :a0YAAOSw-c9d8wtl
That, or I spring for a Green Heron, right?
What do you think? What other options should I consider?
