John,
I had one of TIC's older rings - late 90's version. The position
pot went bad with water ingress. I made a home brewed solution with a
AL disk with alternating black stripes and a encoder reader. That
worked until the motor went bad from water ingress. I now have one of
Carl's latest rings, a DXS-24.1. He originally sent me the wrong motor
for it. It had the wrong number of teeth on the gear. Then there were
other issues too like a bad position sensor. I'll be calling him again
today and see if he can give me a shipping date on his "fix". Otherwise
I'm thinking a RR55 order at some point.
Rich and Dave,
I was looking at the Rotor Genius a while ago and like that idea
except I would have to add wire for its control/power lines. I hate pot
sensors! Now hearing that a RT-21 can be modded for control is very
nice. I have 2 RT-21's here.
73, Fred KG9X
