Bill, There is a nice interface being sold by AMSAT - LVB tracker box...Only need an RS232 or USB to operate it running SatPC32... You didn't mention what rig you have - you can interface with that via SatPC32 also - See the ad at the AMSAT website... Good luck, Dee, NB2F -Original

Hi Bill, You're going to love automated tracking... The current favorite in my shack is the LVB Tracker, available from just a bare board to a completely assembled, plug/play box with backlit LCD--assembled masterfully from one of AMSAT's own members--Mike, WB8CXO!

Bill, I will second Dee's recommendation of the LVB tracker for amateur satellite tracking. We always have it running with SATPC32 at the AMSAT booth at Dayton. The Yaesu interface box is a basic, solid, but expensive unit. Both use a standard command syntax, and are supported by many other

+2 for the Fox Delta kits! After beating around with an FODTrack, and a Satellite Tracker Sr., I bought one of the Fox Delta kits. I had it built in a few hours, and up, calibrated, and running a couple of hours after I set my station up out on the back porch. Works *perfectly* with SatPC2 using

Folks The ST2 is a copy of the LVB tracker but with the PCB laid out differently. The schematic is identical to all intents and purposes. It uses my firmware. LVB Trackers purchased from AMSAT support AMSAT projects, but those from Fox Delta do not. 73, Howard G6LVB Sent from my iPhone On

Love my LVB Tracker! But why does Amsat-NA only offer the LVB Tracker complete or bare board? Why don't they offer the same options as Amsat-UK (basic kit, full kit, etc.)? 73 de Sebastian, W4AS On Jan 22, 2011, at 11:14 AM, Mark L. Hammond wrote: Hi Bill, You're going to love
