Hi Ron;
I'm not 100% certain we are talking about the same unit but there was a 
modified rotor available with a braille control.  The control had a knob 
that would turn a full 360 degrees and there were braille markings for n s e 
w etc.  When you set the knob to the direction of your choice you pressed a 
button on the control box and you got a high pitched tone until the beam 
reached your setting.  I'm not at all certain if the thing was marked in 
print.
I also thought that it was long discontinued but I certainly have been wrong 
before.  You might check out norms rotor service.
Handihams also has a unit that connects to the existing control box of many 
rotors that gives you some audible info as to where the beam is.  The 
advantage to their approach is it can be connected to an existing rotor and 
control box without any modifications.
I have used the unit sold by norms rotor service and loved it but in 
retrospect it may have been a bit pricy.
happy shopping

Subject: question about rotors


I am trying to find out what types of rotors that are user friendly to those
of us who are totally blind.  I found one allegedly with Braille markings on
the controller.  I am pasting some info about it.  Has any one ever used
this rotor, and if so are you satisfied with it.  Please critique it for me!
