Happy Birthday to me: I now own a G-5500 and it's controller! Now... I need
the computer interface.

As opposed to paying the $ for an authentic GS-232B, I see the following
item come up a lot in my EBay feed, and I'm left to wonder if it is worth
trying:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotator-Control-Interface-Board-with-Cable-USB-232B-for-YAESU-G-800-1000-2800DXA/124009089208?hash=item1cdf8488b8:g:a0YAAOSw-c9d8wtl

That, or I spring for a Green Heron, right?

What do you think? What other options should I consider?
