The parts list and other documentation for the LVB Tracker has moved to my website, so we can keep updated information available and not bother with making CDs.

It also comes with a CD that has the parts list on it. You're kinda on-your-own to gather up the parts. Jim KQ6EA

I just looked on the AMSAT WEB site... All I see is the PCB & the box. Did I miss some thing??

Hi Andrew
Is there a one stop shop for the LVB ?
AMSAT-UK sells worldwide: bare boards for the
tracker and USB option, as
well as a complete kit of parts but without a box.
AMSAT-NA sells a number of different options, all
the way up to a
completely built unit in a rather slick looking box.
I have been very surprised by the regular requests
for completely built
units, as well as the kits of parts. One of my
design criteria was to use
easily available parts (many in the average ham's
stock), but the
convenience of a kit has been very popular, as
have the completely built
units. I was blown away by the popularity of the
boards at Dayton this
year, and yet again at the Symposium where Gould
announced the ready-built
units.
I'm old fashioned I guess! I hand wired four or
five on perf board before
doing the PCB. FWIW I estimate there are now 650
boards out there. Not
sure how many are actually built and how many are on
the "things to do" pile!
Judging by the number of enquiries I get, I am
sure plenty are built.
One final thing, the 0.8a firmware (needed to
ignore the NUL characters
generated by Predict) is at
http://www.g6lvb.com/Articles/LVBTracker/LVBTrackV0_8a.hex.
I've yet to
put a link to this on my website.
Cheers, Howard
