What antenna model # is that?

[nervusboy]

Now that's an antenna !!! How well does it work ? What's the range ???

The Channel Masters are crap. Go with a Hy-Gain rotor. You get what you pay for an it's a good American made product, not that piece of crap from Chairman Mao-land.

High winds can move a antenna offline. Even when the bolts are tight to the pole. The gears in rotator can move in high winds.

Try replacing it with the Eagle Aspen ROTR100 Rotator. This system uses DiSEqC 1.2 for control and has a Hall sensors that count every motor revolution and feeds this info back to the control resulting in 2 degree accuracy. It's interconnected using Rg6 and you can diplex the antennas signal over the same coax but I'd rather not do that since you'll lose signal.

I have a Delhi604 with the same problem. the remote box uses a timer to estimate its position, and the speed varies in colder weather. Apparently moisture gets into the seal and it slows down in bad weather. They don't make them like they used to.

Any of the Channel Master clones imported from China are notoriously inaccuate especially if you 'rock' the rotor back and forth to 'tweak' the position of the antenna. No matter how many times you 'Zero' the rotor and control box out doing a full turn to 360 degrees and back to 0 degrees, it will never be accuate. Even with the solid state remote control box that Channel Master offers (9537), it doesn't help (much to my disappointment). They also freeze up in cold weather.
