Hi Bill, I am using the LVB tracker with the G-5500 and controlling them with the SatPC-32 software. My experience with this system has been very pleasing, straight forward and plug & play. The documentation for the LVB is excellent and the same is true for SatPC-32. Setting the calibration between the LVB and the G-5500 was a snap, with very easy to follow instructions. Supporting AMSAT by purchasing the LVB is icing on the cake. My 2 cents.

Best wishes,

OK, a newbee question about interfacing rotors. I have a Yaesu 5500 and I run PCSat32. What do I need between the rotor and the computer? I would like a few options. Do I need the Yaesu 232 interface box or will a generic box do the job. If a generic box will work, which are the best for satellite work with PCSat32?

Tnx 73 Bill K3SV
