[TowerTalk] TIC Potentiomenter

[Fred Sanborn]

John,
     I agree the Vishay 10T pot does not seem to be a good solution. I 
"worked" the pot back and forth more today and it never came back enough 
to be able to use the RT-21 without the "no motion" error message 
again.  We did have a sever winter here in N. IL with a good amount of 
precipitation.  However, I just did a pot replacement and put the rotor 
back in service September so I am very disappointed.

     I am serious when I put the question out there to the TowerTalk 
community.  Has anyone considered or implemented a redesign of the TIC 
ring rotor direction indication method to get away from the dreaded 
unreliable pot?
