[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1053324, member: 178786"] Chris, The RC2000 units are manufactured by Research Concepts, a USA based company. They need to be sourced second hand unless you are prepared to shell out four bags of sand for a new one. Your best bet is eBay, they pop up on eBay.co.uk now and again and on eBay.com quite a lot. A few of us on here bought some second hand RC2000 units from Andrew Jones, a reseller of used satellite equipment. He had somewhere between 20 or 30 of them available at the time, he bought them as a job lot from SIS when they upgraded their van fleet. It might be worthwhile contacting Andrew to see if he has any left. I paid around £120 plus delivery per unit. At that price they are about the same cost as a brand new ASC1 but the RC2000 units are commercial grade dual axis positioners and on a completely different level to the consumer grade stuff. I have pasted a link to Andrew's web site below. [URL='http://andrewjonesbroadcast.com/']Home Page[/URL] The RC2000 units come in several variants such as the RC2000A, RC2000C and RC2000X. The RC2000A is good enough for most users, the C and X variants add auto tracking capability for inclined orbit satellite whereby the unit uses an algorithm in conjunction with a beacon receiver to auto jog the dual axis actuators to keep a lock on the inclined satellite.
