[TowerTalk] Dual rotor controllers

[K8ZTT]

Ted,

I forgot to mention that you would only need to use one of the internal
capacitors, so you would only hook up six leads to one of the boxes.  8 and
4 would only be to one box.  

I forgot about that because I do not use the capacitor in my control box.  I
have the capacitor(s) mounted right by the rotors.  They work much better
that way, and it also allows you to use the two now unneeded wires in
parallel with the leads going to 5 and 6.  The advantage of that is you now
have less voltage drop to the motor(s); that combined with the capacitor at
the rotor, gives it much better torque and better operation.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Dual rotor controllers

Hello All,

I asked this question years ago and got replies.
However, I can't find them.  Guess they are on an
old computer.

Anyway,  I would like to know how I can connect
two (2) controllers to one antenna rotator???

The rotator is a HAM-4 and I have 2 controllers.

I want to be able to control the rotor from 2 different
operating positions...

As I recall, you need to take the fuse out of one of
the controllers.  I don't remember anything else...


Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank in advance.

73,
Ted  K2QMF

P,.S. - I tried the archives with no luck.
