If you rebuild your station, I would consider using a rotator without a
brake. There are less things to go wrong and you need less conductors
running all the way to your tower. I have not used a rotator with a brake
in decades and I have no issues with large Yagis staying in position.

Hi Matt,
Not sure what version I have. Mine worked for years flawlessly. Then I was
gone for two years and when I got back it hangs up.
I am always able to get it unstuck but its a hassle. I want to convert it
to a
point a shoot system where I turn a dial and the rotor goes to where I
tell it
without me having to press any more buttons. Doesn't really matter now as I
took a new job and will be taking it all down to move. I can make my
improvements on the next station.
