As I'm both a 'diehard scanner enthusiast' & an Amateur Radio Op, I've
found that you can use two cheap antenna rotators, with either an
ordinary TV antenna [for scanner hobby] or a 2/70cm antenna [normal
versus SSB]. *The idea, being to use one rotator to 'bore sight', in
azimuth, on the desired signal. With a suitably designed bracket, the
other rotator controls the vertical/horizontal antenna orientation.
Naturally, you only need 90 degrees for polarity change; and it goes
without saying, be sure your elements clear all parts of your antenna
and guywire supports. !!! *'Crunchy' sounds eminating for your antenna
location, usually means $$$.

Did you feel it was worthwhile to add the extra rotor to catch the
other signals that you couldn't hear before?
