SPID, type RAK Azimuth ROTATOR

This SPID Azimuth Rotator (type RAK) is a medium to heavy duty antenna rotator in the same general class as the HyGain TailTwister or Yaesu G-1000 but with advanced digital features.

NEW: All SPID Rotators we supply do have the build in tracking interface with USB version as standard !

Mechanical complexity is reduced to a minimum by utilizing a simple double worm gear drive system. Position readout is sensed by a magnetic reed switch.
The controller has a full complement of features, including digital readout. Controller features may be upgraded in the future with a plug in PROM.

New model standard controller available @ RF HAMDESIGN.

This MD-03 will replace the Rot1Prog and Rot2Prog controllers in near future.
(Standard controllers are still available, but will be sold out soon)
MD-03 info now processed in the rotor pages.

Rotating torque is in the 1,400 to over 3,200 lb-inch range, with between 12 and 18 volts DC to the motor. The 18 volt measured torque is 3,240 lb-inches (366 Newton meters). This is significantly more than any other rotator in the same price range, and even higher than other rotators costing nearly twice as much (Yaesu 2800 or Orion 2800). adaptor for munting on a base plate in a head mast unit.

The SPID AZ Rotator has 1 degree positioning accuracy, Coax can pass through center of rotator - prevents cable damage, Low voltage - high torque DC gear head motor.

Futures of the SPID controllerswhich comes with each rotator:

* Manual, Automatic, Scanning, and Programmable modes
* Digital readout with 1 degree resolution
* Large easy to read soft green LED display
* USB Computer tracking interface build in incl. USB cable
* including Hygain, Yaesu and Orion emulation modes !
(Note: In Emulation modes only the most basic commands can be used)

*The AZ Rotator needs an external power supply of 12... max 18V DC.
Available power supplies page, (12Volt operation, Ideal for camping, DX'peditions, VHF/UHF rovering)
* Can be zeroed at any position to allow for installation inaccuracy or antenna mount slippage
* Generous overtravel (+/-180) with electronic limits Programmable limits ideal for side mount applications
* Small front panel to simplify stacking several units takes up less valuable space
* Supplied incl mouse control with 6 user programmable presets

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)
