Well, I'd say there's some of that but as far as US rotators go they have their own set of weaknesses. The CDE/Hy-Gain/MFJ rotators were designed in the sixties and their problems are well documented

I guess. I don't know what the nomemclature is. I doubt that he's got two models in the works. Nobody's seen one working or used one yet so no one knows. Cheers, Steve K7LXC Tower Tech List Sponsor:

For those of you contemplating a new rotator, I would like to pass on this tidbit. A couple of years ago, I picked up a Yeasu Rotator (the 800 model) to turn a small antenna. It looked good on the br

Whoah! A little fierce there, Del. I have one with, I think, the same control unit. Seems to me those plastic pieces are about right for the job. More to the point, has the rotator itself given you a

Hi Pete: Perhaps you're right. My little 800 has not caused a great problem, although another ham here had his self destruct. He said it rattles so bad when you shake it that he's afraid to open it.

so The two rotators that I would recommend would be the M2 Orion 2800 and a prop pitch. The 2800 has a worm gear drive system, big gears, a splined output shaft and the best mast clamp in the busines

Yes, as a matter of fact it is, or was. It's the motor and transmission that changed the pitch of the propellers in B-26's, B-29's, etc. When you look at a propeller driven airplane (or aeroplane for

Just a little addendum...the prop pitches also came out of just about every engine that GE or Pratt & Whitney ever built, not just from the WW2 era. All the DC series up to the DC7, the Old Constalla

Thanks for the information, Ed. It brought to mind a question I've had for some time. Has anyone come up with a good indicating system for a prop-pitch motor? Every installation I'm aware of, the ham

I'd heard that modern prop pitch actuators are mostly hydraulic, so the supply of electric motors may be limited. Little cousin from the WW2 era was the cowl gill motor, which is a similar cylindrica

Most of the early idicators were the radio compass' off the aircraft, which used a selsen with a world map and the needle center on your QTH. M2 will also sell just the controll box and a modifcation

This is a minor correction about what had prop pitch motors. The only Civilian plane to use them was a C-46 with special certification. The prototype DC-6 had them but had to be removed. All of the C

The most common technique that I've seen is to use selsyns for the indicator system. You can still pick them up at flea markets for five bucks or so. The trick is getting it to turn 1:1 with the mast
