Doug, If you use a 180 Degree elevation rotator no. Passes almost always end up on one stop or another of the TV type rotators. By offsetting the "N" end of the rotator to the NE or NW and using the elevation rotator to pick the side of travel which coverers the current pass will prevent any running out of rotation during a pass. If you can find a 1&1/2 turn azimuth rotator the problem goes away completely.

Does it matter if you use a south center or north center rotor. Is there advantages using one over the other. Doug. KE4MSG _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
