Marc,

I have two Orion 2800 rotators that have operated very reliably 
for me for the past 7 years.  One rotator is 120 meters from my 
ham shack and the other rotator is over 200 meters from my 
shack.

I think the reason why I've never experienced the calibration 
problem reported by so many others is that I use two separate 
cables, one for the motor and one for the indicator (i.e., the 
reed realy contacts).  The two cables are identical, I do not use 
shielded cable.

73!
