DRC 3

Digital Rotator Controller

Details

DRC-3-Data-Sheet-1The DRC 3 is a completely new design of DRC that allows you to control you 3501 or 3503 rotator from anywhere you have an internet connection. The new system incorporates a DC drive motor and ramping feature that reduces wear on the rotator and allows for faster rotation of the antenna. The system is field upgradable with existing 3501 and 3503 rotators so you are able to update the controls without changing the entire rotator.
