Hi Sion,
Look at the images at: http://www.rfhamdesign.com/products/antennerotor/bigrashr/index.html
there is one picture with the terminal box open on the rotor. Also, the rotors are now available with a high resolution option (0.1 degree). If you get a new one, might as well do that. We are planning on doing the same for a station here in Winnipeg. Also, compare prices for the rotor. Even with shipping and taxes the above mentioned source is still far less expensive then anyone in NA.
Hope that helps,
Stefan VE4NSA

Dear All,
I understand that the Alpha Spid Big-RAS AZ & EL Rotator requires 4 control cables each for it Azimuth and Elevation control.
However, I am not able to find out if the connector on the outdoor rotator end consist of 2 separate connectors for the AZ and EL motor (like the Yaesu G-5500) or if they are connected all together at one point. Also would be great if someone could advice if the connection point consists of screw on terminals or some kind of connector plug is used.
This is in preparation of ISS HAM TV reception and would like to understand the above before deciding if I should purchase this rotor.
Thank you.
