Yes, the RC210 is quite capable of displaying (reading back) an
antenna heading based on a varying voltage and giving that readback
in degrees. Since most rotors use an internal pot-derived voltage
divider as the source for driving their meter, it is simply a matter
of checking the voltage supp

Because those people are just using SkyCommand now? Granted, only one
rig, but the control/feedback makes the SM100 look like a stone knife.

I may not be conveying my thoughts correctly on this one. You can
program the meter face based on voltage. However, getting the controller
to perform the
Do what?
Cant you program a meter face based on voltage?
Does'nt the rotor controller display work on voltage?

That is what my original plan was. Have the controller speak a direction
based on the output of the compass sensor. Unfortunately the 210 does
not have that option on the meter faces
Some rotors had a variable resistor in them for direction, the cornell
dubilers come to mind and I think the yaesu's too.
Couldn you use some electronic meter face to read of the position on
numeric value some how?

I have a remote base setup on a UHF machine running an RC-210. I would
like to be able to remotely rotate a beam antenna via DTMF over the
repeater. I have figured a way to do this via the controller, but I have
not yet figured out how to know where the beam in pointed. I have seen
