Hello Myles,

I have one LVB tracker interface under Yaesu G5500 rotator, is not installed outside yet, what I have idea to do this weekend, but i can tell you I have made 1 week tests inside home and I liked very much the precision and performance under NOVA for Windows.

Easy, no external DC supply needed, and very simple to program and setting up. LCD show me azimuth and alevation where antena is and where she goes.

I can take photos and sent you this evening.

Best Regards, 73 Fabiano Moser CR7/PY5RX ARISS-PORTUGAL (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Representative at Teleconference and Portugal Telebridge Coordinator. AMRAD/AMSAT-CT http://www.amrad.pt/ariss.php

Myles, I have had one of the original LVB units AMSAT made as the fundraiser(visit AMSAT website to purchase). It has worked flawlessly. It is a bit of a challenge to put it in place and calibrate if you have NOT ever set up something like this before. I have had many experiences doing so and it didn't take long for me to have it up and running. Putting the USB software to run it via your computer may take some re-reading of the instructions but it all comes out easy and simple to let happen. I use this under PCsat32 and also NOVA. Tracks fine. I use a second one to demo at hamfests with a portable setup to show how it functions. I also did this at Field Day for my local club with the help of another AMSAT veteran. It has been a great addition to my shack to make it one less thing I have to worry about while making these LEO passes work. P.S. I can't wait for an HEO to buzz up the satellite activity- I'll be at Sussex County, NJ Hamfest 7/12/09 to demo this WX permitting.
