I've been using a TIC ring rotator here on a big 7el 10m Yagi for the past 20 years with good success, but it has a couple of well-known unresolved problems: In the high winds we have on our hilltop

Dave, If you get an answer on adding a compass to the Green Heron line, please pass it along. My rotating tower always moves in high winds, which I think is a good thing from a stress point. The othe

4O3A makes a compass based rotator controller however with 147MPH winds you're asking a lot of the windshield washer motor inside the TIC. Do you think that this little motor could damage your coax i

Sorry, I meant to send this to the group. - Dave, I had a problem with the Tic-Ring sensor pot at the same time I had a problem with my M2 2800 reed switch. I purchased the 4O3A Rotor Genius with 2 o

If I was a coding geek, it would be cool to take 2x, highly accurate, GPS receivers, place one GPS antenna on the front and back booms of the beam and then diff the two coordinates to come up with a

George, Interesting comment on not being able to turn both at the same time.  Is there a way to keep the antennas in line automatically (slaved) or do you have to turn one, wait, then turn the other?

microHAM now make a magnetic compass module (ARXC Magnetic) for their ARCO controller. The ARCO has programmable stops which based on the magnetic module should provide adequate protection for your f

Curious, since the antenna is all metal, does that screw up the magnetic compass at all? -Mike -- Mike Lyon mike.lyon@gmail.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mlyon ______________________________________

I don't know but since most antennas are aluminum I doubt they would effect a magnetic sensor. I'd be more concerned about a steel tower but I'm sure the designers have considered that as well. 73, .

Id start by asking Jeff W2FU if he can recommend a compass. They already support an analog inclinometer that works great with Az/El systems. The RT-21 pot excitation (7.5V) powers it and the ADC trea

Why not just install the 2nd motor ?? In the 2 x motor configuration, one is the master (with pot)... and the 2nd motor is the slave (no pot). Then u would at least have double the holding power..and

Rich, With the 4O3A software you need to choose, wait, then turn the other. Mine are controlled via a Node-Red flow that sends the commands to the 4O3A controller so I could add a check box that keep
