I have a neighbor "commenting" (for now) about the noise of the Ham-IV rotator I am using. I have nothing to compare it to. So my question is are Ham-IV rotators considered "noisy" and if so are ther
Mine makes a noticable 'klunk' when the brake is disengaged for rotation and when rotation is completed. It can be heard within 50 to 60 feet of the tower. The rotor itself makes a 'quiet' whir sound
The HAM series all clunk when the brake is activated or released. The sound is transmitted thru the tower. I can hear my Tailtwister 100' away and 100' up. ___________________________________________
I have a C.A.T.S. DPU-1800d rotor, which is a drop-in replacement for a CDR Ham-IV or T2X. It has twice the power of a T2X, but uses a DC motor with no clunky(i.e., noisy) brake, and is very quiet. I

Question: is the noise made by a HAM-series rotator excessive or unreasonable? It is not silent, but I don't think it's excessive or unreasonable. It's certainly not as loud as starting your car. Pe
Good grief! Your neighbor doesn't have much to do if he is complaining about your rotator! I have the Tail Twister rotator and it makes a "clang" when the brake opens and closes. The noise while turn
Nice one :-) The total amount of noise from a Ham-x will depend more than anything on the way the operator uses it. A single sequence of "click... whir... click" is nothing to object to, even if it's
I have to confess I did not consider if: 1. the rotator user was a "brake-clacker" 2. the tower was close to the neighbor's bedroom window 3. the "brake-clacker" clacked the brake late at night So I
I totally agree with Mark's Statement... But, I wonder if there is an easy circuit that could ramp up the brake solenoid voltage in a gradual way that would lessen or eliminate the clack that present

There is big difference between commenting and complaining. Then there is the question of how high the rotator and how far from his/her house and what part of the house. Yes, "in my experience" the
My now ex- wife complained about the sound of the rotator being carried through the structure of the house from the HAM-IV in my rooftop tower. I felt it indicated that the antenna and tower were str
