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 turn 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.
