Hi;
Most 2 meter beams will manage quite nicely with a tv rotator.  They have 
various control boxes so you want one with some sort of tactile pointer. 
You might want to just stop at you local radio shack and go shopping.  A tv 
style rotator should be fine.

Subject: A question about rotors.


Hi list.
I Have a 2 meter beam that was given to me I plan to put up.
I haven't seen it yet, but I believe it's a cushcraft or how ever you =
spell it.
I don't know the model or how many elements it has.
What I'd like to find out is what is a good rotor for it with out to =
much over kill on price or wind load.
Also is there a way to control the antenna with a computer.
if so how do I do it and if not what is a good control box not to =
expensive.
Thanks in advance and 73.
