Re: [amsat-bb] Yaesu rotor

Hi Paul,
 
Forget the GS232a interface; you don't need it. Either buy a Kansas City 
Tracker Card from AMSAT (~$300), a SASI SatTracker, or other similar 
interfaces. I use the KCT card, and love it. It does require an ISA slot in 
your computer, though. Its main advantage is the wide support for the KCT in 
various tracking software packages.
