That was another of the things I liked about the AlfaSpid -- although,
if I am reading their online info. correctly, these things are
significantly more expensive than I thought: exchange rate problem?

Alan,
I have been using two AlfaSpid rotators for several months and have found 
them flawless. They turn my 4 el SteppIR''s in all the the wind we have here 
with no complaint, they stop where you want them, they are easily reset to 
North (or wherever you want). No brake to worry about and an accurate 
digital readout. Presets are possible, control from a logging program 
(TRXManager in my case), limits easily set, etc. The price is quite 
competitive for rotators in this class. I think it appears obvious I am 
extremely pleased with these rotators. If you have specific questions I can 
answer please contact me.
The usual disclaimer my only interest is as a satisfied user.

73,
