Ron,
Sure give it a try. Mount the Arrow at 30 deg elevation and you should be good to go. The only dwon side is the same downside of solid mounting an Arrow on anything. with a handheld Arrow you will always see people rotating it around the axis of the boom for maximum signal strength on receive The on transmit they will rotate their hand to get the transmit elements in about the same plane as the recieve elements were for mx signal. So you will loose a bit of signal. If you already have the TV rotator, give it a go. The other thing to watch is your feedline. Depending on length you might want to consider at least LMR 400. If it is long given the feedline losses at 432 MHz, LMR 600 if you can find it cheaply enough is even better.
Hope that helps,
John

I am going to build an Az/El rotator, but that will take a while. In the meantime, I'm wondering whether I could control an unused TV rotator (Channel Master 9521) with the SatPC32 as an Az only rotator for my single Arrow antenna. Any suggestions? Ron K0PGE
