Default Rotors (rotators)

Rotators:

A rotator (or rotor) is a mechanical device that moves your antenna in order to receive stations broadcast from different locations. These units come in two parts-The motor and the indoor control box. Some models are manual, and some can be programmed to a compass direction. The programmable units are much less of a pain than the manual units.

The two pieces are connected with 3-conductor rotor wire. This is available at a well-stocked electronics store, or an antenna service company.

Manual Control (note the dial on control box):

Programmable control:
