If you don't get it there, order in our shop.

ERC-DUO was designed especially for the Yaesu DXA/DXC-series of azimuth rotators and Yaesu/Kenpro G/KR-5x00 series of azimuth&elevetaion rotators. It comes ready assembled and tested in an aluminium-enclosure. It will be connected to the Yaesu DXA/DXC control-box by an included Mini-DIN6 cable and to the the Yaesu/Kenpro G/KR-5x00 control-box by an optional DIN8-cable.

ATTENTION: this product does not fit to the SDX-series of Yaesu/Kenpro. If you have one of those, please choose ERC-Mini SDX.

Included with the ERC-DUO:

• Ready assembled and tested ERC-DUO with USB-interface in an aluminium-enclosure
• Mini-DIN6-cable for connection to the DXA/DXC-control-box
• USB-cable.
• Service-Tool (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32 and 64bit) for configuration and calibration.
• Rotor-Control Software (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32 and 64bit)
