Hi Rajesh,
wonderful! I have been hoping to organize something like this here
in my neighbourhood. To that end I had contacted the CBC (Canadian
Broadcast Organization) who have offered to do a spot on radio about
learning amteur radio, and perhaps they will put an article on their
webpage.
When I saw your notice on Southgate News this morning I sent the
link to our CBC reporter.
Thanks and good luck.
On another note, I thought that I could do a quick demonstration for
CBC and still keep personal spacing by taking my TMV-71A with an Arrow
Antenna and working a couple of stations on the FM satellites. It has
been several months since I've been on satellite, hopefully I won't
disappoint the reporter with zero contacts. When we set up a time for
the demonstration I may post something on this list. Its 5AM at the
moment and its -31C at the moment, fortunately its expected to warm up
to -20C during the day, good enough for a few minutes of operating
outdoors :-)

Green Heron?s RT-21 Az/El controller works just fine. I have one I have used
on the G-5500 combo. You do need an extra cable to tie the serial ports
together but GH can supply that ribbon cable.

I have a Mac mini and a 5500. I use a USB-to-serial connector and then
serial to an AMSAT LVB Tracker. The LVB tracker is not available any more
from AMSAT but AMSAT-UK might have kits, and Fox Delta ST2 is pretty much a
clone.

Never understood why you would buy a $900 controller (Green Heron?s RT-21
Az/El ) when a $90 PC/Mac controller interface does the same thing since
the G-5500 already has a control box. Maybe I am missing something?

Stefan, the G5500 control box has no computer interface. You are expected
to connect it to a Yaesu GS232 as a computer connection. Of course pretty
much everyone uses something different like Green Heron, Fox Delta, LVB,
etc. Or did I misunderstand your question?

Thanks Burns,
That's what I said, you need a $90 controller "interface" to work with the
already existing Yaesu G5500 Control box :-)

In all seriousness, I purchased a package from GH that didn?t have the Yaesu
controller so it was not exactly the same thing.

The original poster stated the 5500 combo so it was not clear if he already
had the controller and the 232 interface.
I agree there would be lots of overlap if you already had those pieces and
then added the GH.

pretty much everyone uses something different like Green Heron, Fox Delta,
