[amsat-bb] GS-232B Advice?

[Peter Goodhall (2M0SQL)]

Chris,

There's a few options

- LVB Tracker that you can still get on AMSAT-UKs shop
- Foxdelta ST2 lvb clone
- ERC-M
- EA4TX ars

There's many others including homebrew, and some very expensive commercial
units.

I'd suggest one of those four, I'm currently using the ERC-M with good
success.
