[TowerTalk] antenna rotor recommendation

Hi Cameron,

Our club recently installed the AlfaSpid al/ez rotator to position 2m and
70cm Yagis and a 60cm dish.  It is working very well.  Here is a link to
Alfa Radio's site: http://alfaradio.ca/index.html

We chose the AlfaSpid over the Yaesu 5500 based on the its higher pointing
accuracy and greater load capacity.  If I were setting up a station and
required only 5 degrees of pointing accuracy and was loading it with only 2
medium-sized VHF Yagis, I would probably save money and go with the Yaesu
5500.

73 and GL, Chris KA8WFC

I'm looking for a rotor that can do both azimuth and elevation adjustments.
Does anyone have a good reccomendation for me?

Regards,

Cameron
