[Elecraft] Antenna Rotator

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Ron,

If you've never used a rotator before I think you'll be more than happy
enough to let your fingers do the control of the rotator. I have a G-450A at
the bottom of a 30 foot mast for my hex beam and am very happy with it. Hex
beams are not so directional that you have to change the direction for every
station you work so it's really not important to me to have my PC turn the
antenna constantly. 

The G-450A is a perfect companion for a hex beam. You may want to join the
Hex Beam Yahoo group for additional opinions.
