I agree with Craig, my Fox Delta LVB tracker has worked flawlessly for
several years now. Great price, great service, nice kit.

Good day,
Immediately I apologize for my request in this topic.
Can you please tell me where you can read how to reconfigure the

Or who can I write to help?

Hello Max,
Are you a licensed amateur radio operator? I did not see your call in
the post.
Are you planning to use this radio for satellite work?
Googling for "VXR-9000 amateur" returns several promising pages of
information.

Thanks, everyone, for your input!
Pablo, EA4TX, was amazingly responsive with replies to my questions, and I
suspect that he has the superior all-in-one product, with the most-complete
design and the least hassle.
The Vbiroplex kit seems to be the most flexible pre-fab option, and runs
off of LVB logic.
The K3NG arduino option (and kit plans) are likely what I will to consider
at stage-two, when I decide to implement some sort of Euler Angle
automation for mounting plane sensing and translatio in order to run the
az-el on a trailer (ala satellite + VHF/UHF rover)... if anyone has
experience with this, please let me know.
The and the eham reviews, vibroplex and EA4TX documentation provide no
discernable differentiation between products, so I'm left to assume
'functional equivalence' between each of the kit options at this point.
After lots of research and abandonment of shopping carts, The price point
with an enclosure is the lowest for the Fox Delta USB kit.
So: I decided to start with the FoxDelta ST2 0417 for now, just to get some
automation going, and figure out what I want to do from there.
I'll respond as soon as I have my kit installed and running with the rotor
with any weirdness.
