It’s the same product with the addition of Bluetooth. RFinder bought the design from Portable Rotation, which had discontinued it. The price for the basic system prior to its discontinuation was $799, although I don’t know an apples to apples comparison based on what is included with this package.

That is interesting. How does the cost compare to that other company who used to sell portable 12v rotor? I have no idea if they would be directly comparable on features.

Yes they are pretty proud of all their products and show it by the price tag, but the RFinder folks have been announcing their portable AZ-EL rotator system.  I expect that some of you folks who have a few more available bucks than I will want to jump on this.  They still show it a s Pre-order though.  They also seem to indicate that one of their radios will also do satellite, with polar plots and I suspect frequency adjustment capabilities.

Be interesting to see what the AMSAT community says about these products.
