John,
I agree the Vishay 10T pot does not seem to be a good solution. I "worked" the pot back and forth more today and it never came back enough to be able to use the RT-21 without the "no motion" error message again. We did have a sever winter here in N. IL with a good amount of precipitation. However, I just did a pot replacement and put the rotor back in service September so I am very disappointed.

I am serious when I put the question out there to the TowerTalk community. Has anyone considered or implemented a redesign of the TIC ring rotor direction indication method to get away from the dreaded unreliable pot?

    TNX es 73,  Fred  KG9X
