There is a pot in that HAM IV for direction - and limit switches. If you set the Green Heron make up for the miss alignment - there will be a dead zone. 73 Tim K3LR It absolutely will....Just go to t

I still think my first suggestion is the simplest and easiest - Loosen rotator clamps...verify actual antenna heading....while making sure the mast is completely free from turning, move controller (a

Ok, I think I understand the issue. There are differences between the various controllers and rotators. In my particular case, I have a rotator that has no limits and a controller with no limits, so

A big thank you to all who responded. Great suggestions! My tower helper says his big plumbers wrench which turned the tower before will turn it back enough to get proper alignment, after we loosen t

Yes. Also keep in mind that if a Ham-4 can turn it, so can you by hand. But a strap wrench will remove all trepidation. -Steve K8LX On 1/1/2021 4:23 PM, Dave - W3NP wrote: I still think my first sugg

Anyone around for a couple of years should remember to right way for true north. Someone was asking about fixing their winch, with slight a spelling error. Then, how to keep birds off the tower. And,

Why does the vertical weight matter? If your system is balanced and the bearing is good it should be easy to turn. If not you will need a bigger rotator than a Ham IV. Anyway unclamping and reclampin
