[amsat-bb] LVB Tracker vs. Yeasu GS-232B

I would look into getting the Labjack U12 or U3.  SatPC32 has the schematic for the "piggyback" that goes between the Labjack and the control box.

I have used the U12; it works great.  Something to consider.

What is the status of the LVB Tracker - I notice it was once promoted by AmSat, but is currently out of stock.
The Yeasu GS-232B feels a little over priced at $589.
What is the current recommendation for connecting the Yeasu G-5500 to tracking software?
