My colleagues want to be able to readily repurpose a mounted directional antenna, so that it would be easy to point it at site A then quickly rotate it to point at sites B, C, or D. We are thinking a computer-controlled telescope mount would work, or a pan-and-tilt unit used for cameras and lights.
The Meade telescope units look pretty sturdy, but the question is whether you can actually remove the telescope. The pan-and-tilt units from Directed Perception have a rating of only 6lbs, which is enough for the antenna but I worry about wind loading. If any of you have mounted an antenna this way I'd like to hear your experience.
