I didn't see anyone try to assist..sooo... Many questions.. What software both the tracking and the operating system?? What doesn't it do? I have a similar set up with Yaesu rotor, LVB tracker with USB interface and I am using SatPC32. You MUST configure your computer port to work with the tracker. My system also controls my Icom 910. That I set up with a USB port and configured it as noted in the software. I am not a software engineer but have configured many PC's to work with this system. Awaiting your answers and maybe someone else can chime into your query. 73, Dee, NB2F

I am struggling trying to establish a proper USB - Serial port conversion on my laptop. Can someone tell me which software is best for this conversion and what are the pitfalls. I have tried the FTDI Drivers as described in the LVB Tracker Box Manual without success. With so many LVB Trackers in use I am sure there is a way, but I have not found it yet. I may be doing something wrong during the installation of this software and I can not figure it out. Any suggestion will really be appreciated and tried.
