Sadly when I bought mine it did work. Maybe the RCA rotator was a clone of the ChannelMaster.
PstRotator manual mentions a way to work with these cheap TV rotators using a RS232 board. It is described in the PstRotator manual (around page 55)

Hi all. Unfortunately according to the article, the solution does not work with the RCA rotator only the channel master which is nowhere to be found these days.

I have used a RCA rotator. It is on Amazon. You can also use it with USB UIRT and PstRotator. Then, you can have a fully automated rotator setup. It only moves 360 so no elevation adjustments. K3RRR article linked below

Hi,
Anyone have suggestions for affordable TV rotors to swing an Elk antenna in my attic? What features are most desirable to look for?
Thanks, Bob / W7DIT
