Hi Les,

The Fox Delta ST-1 interface has worked well for me for several years.
The lights on my control unit have burned out over the 30 years that I 
have had my G-5400B, but since I don't usually manually point anymore I 
haven't replaced them.
I leave it powered up 24/7 and it's ready to go when I fire up SATPC32.
