I have been searching for a QST article that detailed modifying a TV style
rotator such that the readout was a digital panel meter that was scaled
for
degrees.
Does anyone recall the article- year/month?

Tnx,

Dale,

June 2003 QST page 28, "affordable AZ-EL positioner for small
antenna".

Obviously you can just buld one. I did the bridge system
using a DPM to display 0-360mV as degrees.

Thanks guys- I ordered the CM digital control unit for $38 as that is the
rotator I already have on my shielded loop.
