Tower Talk folks;
Any of you use the Idiom Press RotorCard - Yaesu DXA, for control of a Yaesu
G-2800DXA rotator? Product reviews on eham.net seem good, but hardly anyone
giving a review is familiar to me, like a lot of the TowerTalkians are.
The reason I am thinking of this product is to fullly integrate my wife's
(N7RQ) station into my shack, giving her a separate operating position like
she's been used to. That card should allow her to serially tie her computer to
the normal Yaesu control box on my desk, about 8 ft away. So the two of us,
ideally, could share a single rotator box, without either one of us leaving the
operating position.
The price of this card seems very inviting, especially considering Yaesu's
alternative.
Questions:
1. Looks easy to install. Comments?
2. Any problems with operation? Maintenace?
3. This device still allows manual operation, correct?
Tnx to all!
73, Bob K8IA
