What is the status of the LVB Tracker - I notice it was once promoted by AmSat, but is currently out of stock.
The Yeasu GS-232B feels a little over priced at $589.
What is the current recommendation for connecting the Yeasu G-5500 to tracking software?

I also built an arduino-based K3NG controller. It's a good option if you don't mind doing a little homebrewing.

I looked at this one before getting the AMSAT LVB version.

I use both FoxDelta ST2 and LVB, built from a kit from AMSAT-UK. No performance difference.

I would look into getting the Labjack U12 or U3. SatPC32 has the schematic for the "piggyback" that goes between the Labjack and the control box.

Something to consider. 73,Charlie Sufana AJ9NOne of the ARISS mentors

I believe that the FoxDelta is more-or-less a clone of the LVB. I have an LVB from when AMSAT-NA was selling them pre-built, and it certainly works fine. I know others with the FoxDelta and it also works fine. If I were starting over and choosing between the two, since I'm willing to do some building I'd certainly choose the LVB kit to support AMSAT-UK.
