[Antennas] HD-73 rotor question

[Dan K9ZF]

It's much easier to use a "normal" rotator and mate it with a cheap power
inverter.

I use an AR40 rotator and a Tandy 100 watt inverter for my Rover setup.
Works great.  You may want to test the inverter before you buy it if
possible, I've heard many produce a lot of RF noise.  But I haven't had any
problems with mine.  Although I have had several laptop dc power supplies
that were terrible!
