Re: [amsat-bb] USB-tracking

Just as a "heads up", I am currently working on a dedicated USB unit to
control the antennas and doppler tuning.  It is in the preliminary
design/testing phase as of now and I hope to have a prototype available
"soon".  Due to the future obscelecence of serial and parallel ports, it
seemed a logical choice to create a USB version.

More details to follow once I have something tangible to show.
