Hi guys,
Does enyone know if exist is a wireless rotator?
I cannot run the control cable between the control box and the rotator.
Any advice is very appreciated.

Thanks

Channel Master makes a remote controlled rotator that works with an IR
remote like TV sets use. It is not a heavy duty unit and it is not
expensive either.

That's where bad ideas seem good if they come at you

Not sure, but I heard that in the past that President of Nokia, also ham
radio, had the project or did it, to control remotely his antenna system
(not usre that it is using a GSM).
Try maybe to contact Nokia.

I don't remember his call, I think he was VP of R&D or Engineering,
not the president. He did have a 20m 10 element Yagi. :-)

I don't think it rotated.

hi

this may be an unfair question, but presumably you are running
antenna cable ?? so why can't you attach a small additional
cable? who would notice if you wrapped them ?you'd also have to run a
power cable to to rotor too?


the rotor motor would require power, and i can't see how'd you
supply that wirelessly

so at minimum you'd have an antenna cable and power i would
guess so if your power cable had a few extra conductors who would
know? seems the easiest way

you could buy a wireless relay controlled or build it opening
/closing a relay wireless is pretty easy not sure how your
existing rotor sends position but you could perhaps remote that
or simply add your own position sensors and remote them back
using extra relays or some a/d method

naturally my presumption the rotor is for an antenna if so you'd
have to make your wireless device immune from interference that
your tx/rx antenna might cause as well as interference that
might be caused my your 'wireless controller' device

one can easily send power up the coax. One can also easily send rotator
commands.

Whether someone makes this as a buyable thing is another story.
