Not exactly sure what you're looking for, but Yaesu makes some really nice Az/El rotators. I would think azimuth control would be good enough. There are a lot of cheap TV antenna type rotators. Friendly Regards, Mike -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org

Thanks, Mike. That's pretty close to what I envision. I need azimuth and rotation. I have a set of step motors from an upgrade on one of my telescopes and thought of maybe doing a McGyver on it but if there was something already out there that would allow a small dish to mount to it it would

Hello Adam, Good information to know. Yes, our experience with VL was some time ago...well before 5.5.26 for sure! I can't believe I'm saying this, but we may have an application for a VL deployment in a desert at some point. We're looking for a PtMP system with AES256 and I'm pretty sure VL

You'd just wreck the telescope mount unless it is a really robust unit. I used one of the Yaesu units to track satellites at my ground station. They were under computer control and there was a 2.4 G dish, a 40 element UHF Yagi and a 20 element VHF Yagi, along with a beefy fiberglass cross boom.

VL has been a love/hate for us. When it works, it works great. However, it has several serious flaws. It has the same associate/dis-associate issue seen with other WDS implementations. If a weak client continues to associate/dis-associate, packet loss to all radios on the sector happens and can

why not just two TV rotor motors mounted in a cross. Or use a ham rotor on bottom and light channel master on top. The pole could go thru it so you could mount a wireless zoom camera to the other side for balance and LOS convenience. or put Horiz on one side and Vertical on the other, and don't
