[NLRS] Rotator Genius

[Arliss]

Hi,

I'm wondering if any of you are familiar with the Rotator Genius, 
by 4O3A.

 From what I read, "the sensor uses a magnetic compass that reads 
azimuth...Accuracy within 1 degree. No need for initial 
calibration... User programmable true north and magnetic north 
correction... The sensor can now be used independently from the 
motor control unit with our AzimuthReader Windows app..."

OK, so it's not cheap, but it sounds like it could be useful for 
rovers or perhaps 10 GHz portable operation? Not so much to 
control a rotor, perhaps, but to display the beam heading of your 
antenna. Or maybe there are other electronic compasses out there 
that can do this??

The bad news was that a note on the Tower Talk reflector 
indicated that they were not shipping them at the moment.

Thanks.
