Folks,
I have been doing some research but am having a hard time trying to figure out what some of the most effective and cost efficient solutions to connecting the Yaesu G-5500 to the computer for SatPC32 to control the rotor. Can I ask your opinions please? Thanks, Fred KF4FC
I purchased the LVB tracker sold on the Amsat website. It was simple to setup and performs great.

Fred,
Either LVB Tracker from AMSAT or Easy Rotor Controller ERC-M http://schmidt-alba.de/eshop/index.php?cPath=1_6

K3NG's arduino rotator controller. Why spend $200 when a fuller feature set can be had for $30?
Building/programming is necessary, though. Not hard. Steep learning curve.

why spend $200?? plug and play, no programming, little learning curve, AMSAT gets all the money 73 from a digital challenged Bob W7LRD
