Lou,
You probably already know:
Handihams provides a small box with a pointer knob, speaker and tone that
connects to three of the terminals on the back of the Ham4 rotator
box.  Point the knob where you want the antenna and run the rotator until
the tone disappears.  I've used one for a number of years and it has really
helped.
