The implication being that the pulse counter approach had problems and was upgraded to the pot. A basic problem; /archives//html/Towertalk/2014-04/msg00041.html (8,201 bytes)

As long as the motor is at the same "locked in" speed it will work. A pulse counter is far superior in mtbf to a pot. A; /archives//html/Towertalk/2014-04/msg00042.html (8,903 bytes)

Re: [TowerTalk] TIC Potentiometer (score: 1): Author: john@kk9a.com; Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 08:18:40 -0400; Apparently there are at least two common TIC ring problems, gear slippage and indicator failure. Gear slippage should not occur if the guide roller holds the ring gear against the motor. The further; /archives//html/Towertalk/2014-04/msg00047.html (9,595 bytes)
