[TowerTalk] Prosistel PST61 and M2 20M5

[John Langdon]

Is your unit AC or DC motor? What motor voltage? How long is your cable run?
Have you calculated or measured the working voltage across the motor coil?

Try putting the RT-21 in 'debug' mode to see if you can move the antenna
with the CW or CCW buttons then. If not, you may have lost the shear pin
inside the rotor that works like a 'mechanical fuse'.

I now use minimum speed 4, max speed 8, and a 4 second ramp on a PST71.
Previously using a 3/9/1 setup, I lost a pin.

Try increasing the minimum speed and increasing the timeout setting.

I have a PST61 from Prosistel to move a 20M5 monobander and a XM510 on the
same mast.

When windy, maybe 50 mi/hr, the rotor stop turning. Green Heron RT21 say NO
MOTION and stopped

Is this rotor small for this antennas?
