[amsat-bb] AMSAT-BB Rotor Interface Yaesu 5500 Digest, Vol 6, Issue 45

[Louis House, KD5GM]

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,

LOUIS, KD5GM in EL29kq
