Greetings everyone. Question.....Since the LVB interface isn't available anylonger, what is everyone using for a computer interface to move their rotators to automatically follow the sats? I have a Yaesu g-5500 Alt/Az and im getting tired of manually nudging it every 15 seconds or so.Thanks and 73 Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
