[amsat-bb] Computer Control of Yaesu G-5500B Rotor

[Les Rayburn]

With a lot of help from Marcus Thomas, KF4YHP I finally completed the installation of my Yaesu G-5500B Az-El rotor tonight. This will allow my 432, 2 Meter, and 1296 antennas inside my attic to finally track satellites throughout their passes. 

I’d like to have computer control of the rotor using SatPC32. Can anyone point me towards an assembled interface that will work well? 

Saw this on ebay, but not sure how well it will work with SatPC32. Any thoughts?
