Hi,
It is beginning to look as if it is time to replace my venerable Yaesu rotators after 20 years of abuse. I was wondering what experience people have had with the "new" AzEl rotator? (The http://www.alfaradio.ca/alfaspid.html web page calling it the "new" rotator was last updated in 2003, so that is probably any relatively recent purchase.) Doing the Google and checking eHam picked up a lot of discussion, but mostly of the standard Az rotators. The reports are mostly highly positive, with a small minority complaining of flimsy electrical connectors and gears. The latter seem to apply to older units. The M2 units are certainly impressive, but physically large enough to be a problem, as well as being pricey.
