[Elecraft] Antenna Rotator

[Keith Heimbold]

I use a G450A with my steppir three element and it works great. I purchased the aftermarket MDS RC1 controller and Condrut's PST rotator program and it gives me computer control either direct or remote. Condrut's program is excellent and you can integrate it with DX Cluster in HRD for bearing control.
