ERC Rotor Control & Rotator

So here is the ERC Rotor control unit hooked up to the Emotator rotaror.


It works a treat and is very easy to operate.  I have it working with a number of rotator control software applications including HRD and WinTest.  I now have to mount the rotator on the tower this coming weeknd and run the lenght of control cable back to the shack.


 
I have had a new bearing made for the rotator cage as the original one had pretty much seized.  The new bearing has bronze inserts which I am told will never sieze!
 
 
With a big of luck and good weather, I should have it all installed and ready for antenna installation this weekend.
