[amsat-bb] Question for Gpredict Users

[Pavel Milanes Costa]

My mistake...

I found a error y my commands earlier sended to you...

In every sentence that states /dev/USB0 you you must put /dev/ttyUSB0 
and so on..

note the tty between /dev/ and USB0

Sorry, I was away from home and now I tested at home and found the "bug"
