This spid Azimuth and Elevation Rotator (type RAS) is a medium to heavy duty antenna rotator with Controller.
This rotator is designed for 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.
Controlling a Mesh Dish 2.4 Meter Diameter , a arry for 432MHz with 8 x 26 elements will do fine.!
Note: For smooth Elevation rotation it is recommended to add counterweights to this section to creare balance

The AZ & EL rotator can be mount on a pipe of max. 68mm.
Max. diameter pipe for elevation is 51mm
A Heavy Duty mounting bracket is available, to mount for example a 3Meter Dish at the rotator.

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)

Existing users of Rot1 or Rot2Prog controllers can change to MD-03 if needed.

RF HAMDESIGN Already offers the new MD-03 and PS-03 (Power supply) for use with all standard pulse count SPID and SPX antenna rotators.

MD-03 rotor controller is supplied incl:
Connector set
Built in Track interface for Azimuth and Elevation and X/Y rotators
Flash firmware (Easy to do by user)
Acces to our /HR support page (how to flash the MD-03)
Setup Doc (PDF) to start with MD-03 controller
Option available: Ethernet Module, Mouse, Current Measurement Module CMM and Power supply PS-03.

Specifications:
Weight MD-03: 3Kg
Dimensions MD-03: 34x26x6,5 cm (WxLxH)
Operations voltage 12...18Vols DC / 15Amp (Suitable Power supply: PS-03)

MD-03 controller fits to: SPID RAS, BIG-RAS, RAK, BIG-RAK, RAU and RAEL rotators, as well all SPX standard pulse count rotators.
MD-03 does not fit to all SPID and SPX /HR (High Resolution Rotators. (This is model MD-03/HR)

Surcharge on the rotor price instead of standard controller is EUR 85 for MD-03 (incl VAT)

Power supply:
Refer price list for PS-03 Power supply which fits to MD-03

SOFTWARE for SPID AZ & EL ROTOR:

* Software is available for EME (Moonbounce), Radio Astronomy and Satellite Tracking applications.

* Orbitron - Satellite Tracking System (Free)
HAM radio satellite. But also for Radio astronomy and EME

* MOONSKED - Moonbounce tracking voor Windows, Linux en Mac. (Shareware)

* PstRotator - Universal Track software, for Azimuth and Elevation, shareware, YO3DMU.

*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)
