[TowerTalk] N1MM and rotor control

[john at kk9a.com]

Idiom Press has great product reviews but has had customer service
complaints for much longer than 2 years.  Personally I would just purchase
a Green Heron controller. It is an awesome product and Jeff provides
fantastic customer service.

I have not done the calculations but I would be concerned about using the
G800 rotator to turn a 2el SteppIR and a 2el 40m beam on top of your
mountain top QTH.

Just thinking about some increased automation. The tower will be an MA-550
with
a 2 el Steppir and 1 or 2 el 40M.
A Yaesu G-800DXA should turn this. The Yaesu RS-232B is an amazing $600+ just
to add computer control to a $500
rotor. The Idiom Press remote card doesn't have a positive review on EHAM for
the last 2 years.

Any ideas?
