[TowerTalk] Computer Control of a TIC Ring

[George Skoubis]

Chris,

  If you’re looking for something inexpensive try the “Simple rotator interface V” from remoteqth.com

  Looks like it reads the resistance of your TIC Ring pot and will need a power supply to provide the DC to your TIC Ring motors. 

  They are 98 Euros without a control panel but controlled via PC. 

  I use a 4O3A Rotator Genius for my TIC Ring and M2 Orion but with the sensors it costs 800 Euros to control both so it doesn’t meet your affordable criteria. 

  I looked at your KM7W page on QRZ and saw a few products from remoteqth so you know they do make stuff that works…. It may not have awesome documentation but it’s not really expensive. 

73,

George / W7GES
