SPID, type RAS AZ & EL ROTATOR

This spid Azimuth and Elevation Rotator (type RAS) is a medium to heavy duty antenna rotator with Controller.

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

The rotator is designed to be mounted on a pipe or on an optional adaptor plate for conventional in-tower mounting.

Controlling a Mesh Dish 2.4 Meter Diameter , a arry for 432MHz with 2..4 x 26 Element Yagi will do fine.
Note: For smooth Elevation rotation it is recommended to add counterweights to this section to create balance.

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)
