N7TR and I both just purchased two of these. I will be using mine with
Alpha Spids. The boxes are very nicely built. Rich has his hooked up and
loves them.

To All
I bought one about a month ago(Green Heron control box) and its just short
of amazing. I have it on a Yaesu 2800 and interfaced with ProLog2K and it is
smooth. Green Heron is going to be at Dayton this and you will enjoy talking
to Jeff.
I highly recommend It

I know there is interest out her for a "GOOD" rotor. Some stil like to
buildit themselves. After years I finally got a prop pitch up and going, my
HyGain Model 400 ROTOBRAKE was getting a bit tired.
Curious to what antenna(s) you are rotating? Some have rather large
antennas to turn so a benchmark as to what it can handle would be nice.
Maybe it could handle 52ft boom 5el 20M yagi that weighs in at 170lbs plus a
2el 40M Cushcraft? And that is not as big as many.
I remember a HamRadio write up years ago by a VE using worm gear also.
Idea of GREEN HERON control box sounds interesting. I am beginning to look
at one now (got some nice 28VDC 18A regulated supplies for prop pitch use,
that became available after I got the M2 control box.) This for prop pitch.
Put me on your interest list.
