[TowerTalk] CDR Rotor Control Box Compatibility

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

There was a difference, OTOH, I got a older box and rotator that had been
modified to the newer standard.  In my case, it was documented.

    Is that true?  What about the series I and Series II rotors?  Didn't they
   have a slightly different wiring?

   This is, indeed, a Ham-M control box. It can be used with the Ham series of
   rotators, since they are all pretty much identical electrically.

   CATS has a history page about the CDE series of rotators -
   http://www.rotor-doc.com/history.html

   You should be able to find a schematic for both the HAM-M and Ham-II
   rotators on the BAMA archive.
