AZ & EL ROTATOR

KLIK HIER VOOR NEDERLANDSE VERSIE

This AlfaSpid Azimuth and Elevation Rotator (RAS) is a medium to heavy duty antenna rotator with Controller.
This rotator is designed for large satellite antennas and comes complete with an electronic control unit. The rotator is designed to be mounted on a pipe or on an optional adaptor plate for conventional in-tower mounting.
Controlling a parabolic DISH up to 3 meter is a piece of cake, or a arry for 432MHz with 8 x 26 elements will do fine.! (More pictures can be found here)
