[DXBase] anyone using the Rotor-EZ

[Kim Elmore]

Two words: Buy it.

Yes, it uses the DCU-1 protocol. I'm using it on a Hy-Gain T2X and love 
it.  I bought the pre-wired version because, with two toddlers, a working 
wife and my  own job, kit-building, even something as easy as this, is not 
an option. Expect to spend about a hour installing it. Mine worked fine out 
of the box. The only problem I had was that the 9 pin serial connector 
wiring was a mirror image of what it should have been.  I fixed that and 
now the computer control with DXBase works like a charm, too.  I have to 
admit that it's way cool to enter a call into DXBase, press the appropriate 
"button" and have the rotator automagically go to the proper heading.
