[TowerTalk] ProSistel ring rotators

[Fred Sanborn]

John,

    I had one of TIC's older rings - late 90's version.  The position 
pot went bad with water ingress.   I made a home brewed solution with a 
AL disk with alternating black stripes and a encoder reader.  That 
worked until the motor went bad from water ingress.  I now have one of 
Carl's latest rings, a DXS-24.1.  He originally sent me the wrong motor 
for it.  It had the wrong number of teeth on the gear.  Then there were 
other issues too like a bad position sensor.  I'll be calling him again 
today and see if he can give me a shipping date on his "fix".  Otherwise 
I'm thinking a RR55 order at some point.

Rich and Dave,

    I was looking at the Rotor Genius a while ago and like that idea 
except I would have to add wire for its control/power lines. I hate pot 
sensors!  Now hearing that a RT-21 can be modded for control is very 
nice.  I have 2 RT-21's here.
