SPID, type BIG-RAS AZ & EL ROTOR

SPID Azimuth and Elevation Rotator (BIG-RAS) is a heavy duty antenna rotator with Controller.

This rotator is designed for very large satellite antennas and comes complete with an electronic control unit.

The rotator is designed to be mounted on a pipe or on an optional adaptor plate for conventional in-tower mounting.
Note: For smooth Elevation rotation it is recommended to add counterweights to this section to create balance.

The AZ & EL rotator can be mount on a pipe of max. 68mm.
Max. diameter pipe for elevation is 52mm.
A Heavy Duty mounting bracket is available, to mount for example a 3Meter Dish at the rotator.

SOFTWARE for SPID BIG AZ & EL ROTOR and Rot2Prog / MD-03:

There are many more computer track porgram which can operate with SPID Controllers
Downlaod Rotor specifications sheet (PDF) on this page for more info)
Track Software is available for EME (Moonbounce), Radio Astronomy and Satellite Tracking applications and lot more.

Most used is PstRotator - Universal Track software, for Azimuth and Elevation, shareware
(PST rotor can be used as a step-up for track software that does not directly support the SPID protocol Rot2Prog)

*Note: All SPID rotators are able to emulate Hy-Gain, Yaesu and Orion control units, is it compatible to almost any software.
(Note: In Emulation modes only the most basic commands can be used)
