Is there a currently manufactured equivalent of the Alliance U-100 or Gemini 
Orbit 360 TV-type antenna rotator that permit cross boom installation for 
EL-rotator application?

 Hi; I used to install these rotors for years.
 That's when I was doing TV and electronic repair.
 I think I might have rotor parts for those type of
  Rotors in one my storage buildings.

Hi Danny,

Besides the U-100 and U-110 units I have not found anything similar. I have 
been using the Gemini Orbit 360 here for elevation with a home brew 
controller and have had good service from it.  The pot failed in my first 
one after a couple of years of extensive use and I never could get a 
replacement installed and working properly. The one I have up now has been 
up in use for about 6 or 8 years. The pot is a little scratchy around zero

but it is still serviceable.  I still have one new spare and a used unit 
that I'm unsure of. They appear on ebay from time to time but be aware that 
there were some
units produced after all the initial units were gone that carried the same 
model number but was not the same rotor. It looked much like the 3 wire 
Radio Shack model and the mast did not pass through the unit.

Actually I've spent enough on the units I bought to buy a real Yaesu 
elevation rotor but where's the fun in that?

God luck,

73 de Jess W4MVB
