I am planning to install my G5400 rotator inside a tower having a
welded rotator shelf. The tower is not installed yet and will have
one face against the side of my house which is positioned about 28
degrees northeast (Per Google Earth).
I assume when I drill the rotator shelf, I can adjust for the gross
28 degree offset of the tower. However how important is it to do
this at all? Does the rotator have to be installed exactly toward
true north or can I make up the difference when clamping down the
antenna mast assuming the antenna is oriented true north? Note I
will be using a Trakbox and need the ADC to center on true north.
Surely it matters not how the rotator is mount, you just clamp MAST
so that the antenna are north pointing, the orientation of the
physical rotator is unimportant.
