Pulse sensing can also have problems. If the antenna should happen to
rotate when the control box is off the antenna would no longer be in the
correct direction. Also the control box has no way of knowing what
direction it is turning, it only knows that it is turning. A pot is nice
because it will not loose calibration, however they are more susceptible
to moisture and lightning damage. I had to change one out on a TIC ring
just hours before the WPX RTTY contest earlier this month.

A tip of the hat to K0XG rotating tower systems....fast service.
I called Richard Thursday evening needing a replacement pot. He sent it
out the next day, with no payment needed until I received it. I got it
Tuesday and all is good.
This is how companies should be run.
