Ed,
Tnx for posting this. I wish him luck. Over recent years, the
problems the old company was having scared me away from buying a rotor
control for my old Ham IV.
About a year and a half ago, Rob K6DQ (he of Hampod fame), suggested the
Easy Rotor Control from Germany. I know Jim KY2D had gotten one for his
Ham IV.
I had picked up a Yaesu G-800 for the hex last year, and last month
finally got around to getting the ERC. Fully assembeled and plug and
play for the G-800. Very pleased with it.
Anyway I wish the new owner of Idiom Press all the best and maybe will
see some new products on the market from them.
73, Steve KW3A
