Norm's Rotor Service (he's on the web) sells a modified Ham 4 rotor 
and control box that can be used.  I use a standard Ham 2 rotor with 
an outboard audio oscillator across three terminals on the back.  It 
was made according to an old QST article from about 25 years 
ago.  There is also a schematic from Handihams that is for such an 
outboard audio oscillator.
