Hello all, I am wondering and hoping that some of our engineer types could design an external "Point and Shoot" knob and circuit to add to the M2 OR-2800PX DC rotator??? Any Takers? I contacted M2 bu
The Green Heron controllers do exactly that. They are loaded with other features as well. M2 will sell the P2800 w/o a control box. 73, Guy, N7ZG _______________________________________________ _____
Hi Guy, I know about the Green Heron controller but I am hoping for a mod to the M2 controller so that I, and others, don't have to spend those bucks for a new controller... K2QMF On Wed, 2 Mar 2011

The cost of a Green Heron box is $559 plus shipping. The cost of engineering a Green Heron-esque mod for an existing control box would likely far exceed that, which may explain why M2 isn't intereste
If your M2 rotator controller is connected to your PC, DXView will give you "point and shoot" capability; it's free, and available via www.dxabsuite.com 73, Dave, AA6YQ --Original Message-- From: tow

K3GGN, Dean, Please tell me what is so Unbelievable??? If my request is so unbelievable would you please explain why? I am open to any comments you may have. I would like to learn from your input reg
Only because M2 is too lazy to bother. Any controller capable of RS-232 input should have more than enough processor processor power to support point and shoot operation if that feature had been par
Or perhaps the cheapest option of all. The M2 controller OOTB accepts RS-232 input. A computer becomes the "point and shooter". ;-) 73, Guy, N7ZG _______________________________________________ _____
Check out the MDS at http://www.mds-ham.com/ Not sure if they have one for that rotor. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailin
Hi Joe, Many Thanks for your input! I guess the modification for Point and Shoot would be to involved and too expensive. As you said, it is too bad M2 didn't design it into their controller in the be

If you put a PC in the mix, you could probably do it for about $100 in parts and one of the cheap LabView clones.. the $100 would go for one of those USB multifunction data acquisition pods like the
Since the M2 has a RS232 control interface, what about some sort of cheap box that reads a pot and spits out the appropriate control message. There are such thing floating around out there on the web

Point and shoot? 73 Roger (K8RI) degs. The digital display always shows the CURRENT heading. You simply crank the knob over from say ZL land to say EU [ 30 deg from me].... and sit back and watch the
