OK that is good news - I now there are some slight differences between
GS 232A and GS 232B and it sounds like it can handle both.

Time to order!

Jeff,

Yes!

Here's the main design features:

o    Inexpensive! Basic device without any options is $12 for the components

o    Several physical interface options including RS-232, USB and TCP/IP
over 10/100 Ethernet

o    Uses standard software interface (currently Yaesu GS-232)

o    Cross-platform compatibility - Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac

o    Compatible with existing real-time prediction programs such as Wisp and
Nova

o    Open source

o    Integrated firmware programmer for easy installation and upgrade

o    No requirement to solder SMT devices

o    Bidirectional interface

On the LVB tracker - do you know if it (can) support GS 232B protocol?

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!
