You could use the FTDI 5V TTL/UART to USB cable (FT232RQ chip).
Sparkfun sells a version of this cable ($17.95) that has RTS and CTS brought
out.
When Sparkfun has "sales" this cable is often discounted further ($11.95).
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9718
I use this cable for interfacing computers with the Kenwood 6-pin DIN UART
(inverted serial TTL) for remote computer control (CAT) of frequency, etc.
This specific FTDI chipset (FT232L and FT232Q) and its Utility software
(FT_PROG) permits INVERTING the serial lines (required for Kenwood usage).

The "other approach" was posted here on amsat-bb back in 2010/2011.
That is a hardware emulation solution by Dave Dowler, KA6BFB (2010) and
Chuck Jones, N6BIL for using the Yaesu FT-736R with Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD).

This is my current antenna setup:
http://www.pa3guo.com/a7.jpg
Basically, 6 ele for 145, 17 ele for 440, 23 ele for 1200, small quad for
23, and a multiband vertical.
I am planning revise and clean this.
AZI rotor kr400, 30 years old, 20 years by me, and 20 years in use.
ELE rotor kr500, also 20 years in service.
I know how to clean these rotors, but consider to replace the AZI rotor with
a new one.
Any advice?
G450, seems less strong as the kr400.
G650?
G1000sdx or dxc?
G5500?
I do control these for sat tracking.
Is variable speed in that case a disadvantage?
Other thoughts?
Here is a comparison table:
http://kur02.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=32
I tend towards a G650 which costs around 425 dollar here, the G1000 dxc is
600 dollar.

Henk,
If you want to keep it straightforward simple and have it do everything you
need, I would suggest the Yaesu G5500 with an LVB tracker. Has plenty of
horsepower and fully controlled automatically through SatPC32. It's a
plug-and-play set up.

Solar Impulse 'round-the-world flight shaggy dog story...
Having stayed through Sunday here in Dayton for the first time in decades,
I was soon bored! Having not bought ANYthing the whole weekend, the piles
of bricks and abandoned gear by the trash piles by noon Sunday were just
too tempting, and by the time I left at 1 PM, every nook and cranny of the
solar prius was crammed with old commercial gear thinking they will come in
handy with our plan for an East Coast 9600 baud backbone (
http://www.aprs.org/ec9600net.html).
The real deal was a stack of 25 rock solid "UHF" 45W data radios with built
in GPS. Clearly designed for dispatch vehicles that I got for $2 each.
The great news is that they had 3 serial ports combined into a 14.4 kbps
stream. Spent the evening getting the covers off to reveal the bad news.
They are 800 MHz! totally useless unless they can be pulled a whole 100
MHz (not likely). Photos and details later...
Anyway, After 3 days in the Prius Inn (http://aprs.org/APRS-SPHEV.html) I
was ready for a real shower and with all you guys gone, I finally got a
room downtown. Then I heard someone say that the Solar Impulse was landing
in Dayton that night, and rushed to the TV to find some local news as to
when it would land. Not having cable at home and being clueless, I
searched all 250 channels on the hotel TV and the only thing I found was
FOX. And they had a panel of experts probably claiming something about
Obama causing the rain in the flea market this weekend. Nothing on CNN,
NBC, HLN, MSNBC about the Solar Impulse either. Not even news! Just fluff
pieces on feel-good stuff. I finally realized I could google it.
Found the Solar Impulse web page and the last post was "landing in 45
minutes" and it was posted 20 minutes ago! Grabbed the keys and made a
beeline to the airport only to see a crowd of about 6 people near a police
car. I stopped in the red zone and the policeman was explaining that it
landed 5 minutes ago. He then turned on his flashing lights and drove use
into a restricted area where he pointed to some tiny dim lights all the way
across the tarmac where it was parked (if you could see it at all)..
Stuck in Dayton till a Tuesday meeting on cubesats at WrightPat AFB, I just
had zero motivation to go do anything Monday other than catch up on email.
No one anywhere knew anything about the Solar Impulse so I finally forgot
about it. Forced myself to get out of the room and decided to just go over
to the WP aviation museum to grab lunch. Nice museum if you ever have the
time. Its Monday and the place was virtually empty. Wandering through
alone I did stumble into two guys in flight suits discussing one of the
early flight exhibits. It sounded like they were speaking French so I took
a stab...
"You guys know anything about the Solar Impulse?" The tall one answered,
"yes, it landed last night". I ask, "Well are they going to have any tours
or open house? I cant find out anything". He said, "Not really, its
leaving at 5 AM tomorrow"... Now having gained some info I needed, I
wandered away...
Then I began to wonder... and wandered back. "You guys aren't the pilots
are you?" and one said, "yes, I'm Andre." After picking myself up off the
floor, I stumbled through something about how admiring I am of their solar
initiative and how great their mission is, etc. Gushing along I said
something about being 100% solar myself at home and driving an EV. He lit
up and asked "That's not your red Tesla in the parking lot is it?" I said,
no, mine is the beat-up Solar Prius about 10 cars down. He responded "Wow,
I saw that one and we took pictures of it!"
I gushed some more and then slinked away so as to not sound like too much
of a solar groupie... Floating on air, I decided I'd had the highlight of
my day and could not stay focused to finish the museum. Headed out to the
car, and ran into a couple in the 3rd EV in the parking lot sitting there
in the hot sun with the AC running and enjoying the silent coolness of EV
AC while studying the Dayton tourist guide as to where to go next.
Then I began to realize that if Andre saw my car on the way in, then he
would be passing it on the way out. I moved it around and parked right
next to the copper colored I3, and second red Tesla (N7TES tags) and both
still charging. (1st red Tesla I had seen was N4HHE back at Hara)... Then
waited... and waited.... then went back inside the museum and staying out
of sight, stalked them until they finally met up with the astonished Museum
Director who did not know they were coming. After another hour or so of
touring the museum they headed out and I was able to sneak around and get
back to the EV's first.
I asked Andre for a photo, and he was happy to oblige saying something like
"solar Impulse... solar car... good idea"... His camera man asked me some
details about my car and as he and Andre walked off to their van, I could
see the camera man passing along the details to him.
And that's the rest of the story. Photo and web page to follow when I get
back to the office at the end of the week!
Another day in the bumbling bubble...

?I wonder if there is any "Middleware" layer required for the LVB tracker

What a wonderful story, Bob, and how lucky you were to bump into the
pilots. I also got a kick out of your Prius Hotel info on your website
(I'm 6'8" and as much as I'd like to own a Prius, it isn't the car for
gargantuar). Keep up the fight for solar. And thanks for what you do for
all of us with APRS and other activities.

Bob,
I had the same reservations as you when I was researching all the possible
options. I've had several different rotors over the years. They all had
complicated interfaces and extra stuff to make it all play nice. I was
recently at a friends house and saw how simple his setup was and was sold.
I have a little USB to 232 cable from my laptop to my LVB tracker. No extra
programs running, just SatPC32. Works like a champ. Took me about 10 minutes
to make it go.

Related question: where does one purchase an LVB tracker box nowadays?
It is not listed on the AMSAT site ("There are no products available in
this category.") and I cannot seem to find another location that carries
information on it.

Thanks Michael for that info about LVB Tracker -- that sound refreshing. I
actually use a Toughbook laptop running Win10 for my satellite operation
and that has a real honest to goodness RS232 port on it, which would make
it even easier! Hopefully they will be back in stock at AMSAT.ORG before
too long (Martha normally announces when she gets a batch in).

Contact Martha at the AMSAT Office. We were selling them for $200 assembled
at Dayton. I think there were a few units left at the end of the event.

Flight to Lehigh Valley Postponed
Solar Impulse with Bertrand Piccard at the controls was planned to fly from
Dayton towards Lehigh Valley KABE on Tuesday
morning (Dayton Time) May 24th.
We experienced a brief cabinet failure which distributes the fan power
needed to keep the mobile hangar inflated.
This lasted approximately 2.5 minutes. During the time it took to reboot the
system, some parts of the airplane were lightly
touched by the deflating hangar fabric.
After a first check by the engineers, we do not see any damage. However this
will have to be studied more carefully over the
next few days and as such the flight from Dayton to Lehigh Valley has to be
postponed.
Let?s remember that airplane safety and risk mitigation is of paramount
importance and hence we want to ensure that the
structures that were touched are in perfect working order.
