[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 99407, member: 176074"] The EGIS Antenna-Rotor [url]http://www.egis-rotor.de/Aroto_us.html[/url] seems really to be very good, though one problem exists: Since the dish diameter is restricted to 2.5m solid and the elevation hub to 40° this would mean that somebody south of 44° North could not get down to elevations of 0° if that is wished. But the Autotracking function and the precise movement in Azimuth and Elevation make it one of the best choices i think. As i have understood often the disalignment of the dish is the problem and not the insufficient dish surface when somebody is close to the edge of a footprint. Surely there is another version of them called Autotracker III [url]http://www.egis-rotor.de/Autot_us.html[/url] that can move up to 60" actuators. Suppose this is the one you mean :) I also read about other positioners. Don't remember their names but Ed the MasterDXer in Denmark should have mentioned them. He has also one on his 3.1m in use if i am right. Or was it his 4.5m ? I am not sure. By the way: Do you remember in which Cyprus-Forum you saw it because i am searching for worldwide sat-fora in general. I only got this one from Cyprus: http://www.cysat.net (On the left under "Cysat" is the forum-link) [/QUOTE]
