EASY-ROTOR-CONTROL
EASY-ROTOR-CONTROL (ERC, ERC-Mini, ERC-M)
No time in the contest or in the pile-up to put the antenne with the rotor-controller in the right position?
Working via satellite or with the ISS and manually adjusting the position of the antenna?
There is a transceiver in the remote-station, but no solution yet to operate the antenna remotely?
We have the solution for this!
Easy-Rotor-Control are interfaces between computers and rotor-controllers. They enable the antenna to be aligned at the touch of a button and provide computer-controlled tracking of rotators for moving objects in azimuth and elevation (SAT/EME, etc.). It doesn't matter whether the rotor has just come out of the store or is 50 years old. No matter which program you use for logging or running in the contest or tracking the satellites. We have a solution for almost every rotator and for almost every software.
Operating system Windows, Linux, MacOs? Interface RS232, USB or LAN? Your choice! ERC interfaces can be used in almost any station-setup.
Before ordering an ERC:
Please check our Rotator-list in order to be sure, that your rotator is compatible to our interfaces and if there is any accessory (connector or rotor-card) needed in order to set your system up.
The interface selection-guide will also help you in the decision, what interface to buy.
Please check also our Software-Guide in order to be sure that your favourite program is compatible to our interfaces and how to set it up.

More sub categories:
Interface for Yaesu/Kenpro SDX-series, USB, open-collector-outputs, 4-stage speed-control
ERC-Mini SDX can be used to control rotators of the SDX-series by Yaesu/Kenpro. The interface was checked with the most popular logging-, contesting and remote-programs.
You can use ERC-Mini SDX to directly mount it inside the SDX-control-box.
1-axis interface for azimuth, RS232, relay-outputs
ERC is a compact interface which can be mounted directly into the control-box of most any rotator as it has the needed relays already on-board.
ERC can be used to control directional antennas for the HAM-operator. The controller has been checked with the most popular logging and contest-programs. Please refer to our software-guide.

1- or 2-axis interface, USB, open-collector-outputs, Azimuth, Azimuth&Elevation, DUAL-Azimuth
ERC-M can be used to control azimuth, azimuth&elevation or DUAL-azimuth antenna-systems for the HAM-operator. The controller was checked with the most popular logging or tracking-programs or with rotor-control-programs who communicate with such applications by DDE.
You can use ERC-M to directly connect the control-boxes that have a remote-connector or to (most) any other rotators (including homebrew-systems) by use of rotorcards. Any combination of rotators is valid.
