Guys,

Many of you have stacks.  For those who don't have a rotary tower, how
are you rotating the antennas to keep them pointed the same way?  It
seems like it would be a royal pain to have to play with two control
boxes all the time.

Anybody out there have a "slaving scheme" where one dials in a single
heading and the two rotors point the same way automatically.

It seems that with digitally controlled rotors, it would be a simple
matter to write software to do this.  Perhaps even off of a single
RS-232 port.
