ok, since i've never had the chance to actually check out a roter,  could
one mount a tv roter to the top of a push up poll?  Or do most roters have
to be mounted in a tower?
Or, can a roter be mounted to a flat surface?
Perhaps an explanation of the physical design of your typical roter might
help.
I sort of assume that they either sit at the top or somewhere down the tower
and that a push up is then bolted into the roter.....so thus my question of
weather a roter can go at the top of a push up or if it can only sit at the
bottom of a push up poll.
I didn't realize small roters were so cheap these days and the channel
master that was mentioned the other day with direct keypad entry for the
heading sounds very good.
I have a 7 element beam at the top of a 10 foot chunk of 1/2 inch pipe on
the fence...i have to turn it manually right now, but a roter would be
nice...i just don't know without actually physically finding someone to let
me feel a roter or buying one, if I can install it at the top of the 1/2
inch pipe and have it turn the beam, or weather I would need to ground mount
the roter and have it turn the whole pipe.
