[amsat-bb] TAPR JAMSAT TRAKBOX Questions

[Joe Leikhim]

I am on a mission to complete all my nagging projects.

I have a TAPR JAMSAT TRAKBOX that I modified for Y2K and Turbo a while 
back and I am now going to replace the ancient BR lithium battery with a 
fresh one and install a backlighted LCD display. I find today the 16 
position alphanumeric BCD switch seems flaky and unresponsive. Is that 
the electronics ignoring it for some reason or do these switches fail?

If the latter, does anyone know of a source of that specific pushbutton 
BCD switch?

Also has anyone used a USB to serial adaptor with th TRAKBOX?
