    • Easy to install
Style: Single
Works great! Love it! The hardest part of the whole installation is getting the wiring ran to the inside unit. Don’t know if there’s a wireless unit made but if so that might be the way to go.

    • Great update from my older rotor controller.
Style: Single
Review Image by Scott Scott
My older controller had the simple dial control, this one has a remote and is programable. I did not replace it for this feature but was happy about it. I replaced it because my old rotor would not hold my antenna in the position I selected, the wind would move it. This new controller works perfect and holds my giant antenna where I point it. Read the instructions for setting it up, you have to initialize it, and calibrate it before you can use it. I use this rotor to control my DXing antenna. So I can set button A for Detroit, B for Lansing, C for Flint etc... really handy. ... show more

    • Very nice, well designed, sturdy, accurate, 12 memory, TV antenna rotor.
Style: Single
RCA Programmable Antenna Rotator VH226F Review This new RCA ‘Rotator’ as it is called, is very nice, well engineered, and sturdy, but there is very little information available about it. I have installed it on my 10ft lower, chimney secured mast, and 2ft antenna rotating mast, replacing a 45 year old Radio Shack rotor. I will try to fill in a few details. 1. Case of rotor section is metal and very sturdy, but I can find no specification about maximum antenna weight, or moment. They do specify 3ft max antenna mast length, above the rotor. They specify 1.25in main mast diameter but state that up to 2 inch diameter can be accommodated. I believe the same is true of the antenna mast section. The lowest mounting bracket has extra holes that accommodate optional guy wires. Be careful when mounting the base of rotor to the main mast. There is a protruding tongue on the rotor meant to act as a stop as the unit is slid onto the top of the mast. This tongue should just touch the top of the main mast and protrude into the center mast void. If you lower the rotor further that tongue will be pressed against the side of the mast and miss align the rotor on the main mast and weaken it’s mount. 2. There is a 3 wire interface between the control box and the rotor. Max length of 20AWG 3 conductor cable is specified at 150 ft, but longer cable lengths are permitted with heaver gauge wire. (Be careful when connecting the 3 wires. They are numbered 1, 2, 3 on the control box, and 3, 2, 1 on the rotor.) The screws are smaller than I would expect and they warn of possible damage to the system if the wires are not connected correctly, 1 to 1, 2 to 2 and 3 to 3. Both units have terminal blocks for the connecting screws, and the screws have square washers that don’t rotate as the screws are tightened. This helps compensate for the fact that the terminal blocks are so small. If your wires are too big for using a U shape to go around the screws, I recommend a simple straight section of wire, maybe ¼ inch be inserted below the square washer while the screw is tightened. (Instructions specify stripping ½ inch of insulation.) 3. The display of the control unit only displays 2 digits in degrees, so 18 stands for 180 degrees. The antenna positioning is much more accurate than that, however. The motor in the rotor unit always turns at a constant uniform speed and the control unit synchronizes with the motor unit by digitally integrating the clockwise and counterclockwise motor time. Time and rotation is set to 0 degrees in both units at the same time by pressing the initial button. From that point, time is used in the control unit to keep track of antenna movements. There is no spec on the repeat-ability or accuracy on this control system, but I believe the digital time counter and memory is better than the approximately 1 degree backlash play in the mechanics. Besides the initial synchronization system, there is a auto calibration system to match the digital counter speed to the speed of the individual motor unit paired with the individual control unit. This relative speed calibration is performed at the factory, so does not need to be done by the user, but if it ever becomes necessary, the re-calibration of the two speeds, can be performed by the user. 4. There is a 12 position memory system with 12 memory select buttons. There are also clockwise and counter clockwise buttons for arbitrary control. Once a good antenna position is found, a memory button can be set to remember that position by first pressing the memory button then one of the 12 buttons. The antenna can then be returned to that position by pressing that button in the future. The memory and current antenna position are maintained across power cycles, probably by flash memory, so the unit can be powered down most of the time, and only powered up when the antenna needs to be rotated. There is a power switch on the control unit. Memory memory positions can be reprogrammed and all can be erased if desired. 5. The display on the control unit is red, and way too bright for viewing at the same time as viewing a TV. I used a cut to fit piece of black dog waste bag to cover the display. It mutes the display while making it still easily visible. The display shows the memory currently selected, A, B C, D, E, F G, H, I, J, U, or L, using one character and a two digit display of the current antenna position in degrees clockwise looking down on the antenna, divided by 10. So, 3 very bright characters need to be muted. I like this unit on the whole. It is well designed, and solid. Its speed is well chosen not too fast for big antennas but not too slow for actually getting there, roughly 55 seconds for 360 deg roughly the speed and direction of a second hand. My antenna is small, but I believe it is well capable of rotating even large TV antennas. I set 0deg West, because there are no stations in that direction.

    • It works very well BUT, there is something you should know
Style: Single
The unit appears very well built and functions as advertised with one exception that depends on your TV. The literature on the unit indicates that it has 12 memory locations that you can use to find and store antenna locations that are optimum for your reception area. And this is true, BUT: If you have a TV (like ours) that cannot permanently store the digital channels then there is no way to use this, or any, antenna positioner without rescanning the channels each time you move the antenna. If this was the old days of analog TV, it would work great as the channel numbers are locked in. We have an "older" Samsung flatscreen TV, probably 8 years old or so. Like all digital TVs, you hit the auto-scan and it finds all the channels it can for the given antenna position. Then if you move the antenna (manually or with this remote device) you scan again which erases all the previously found channels and populates the list with the new found channels. I did a lot of research to see if there was a way to lock them in and found none. I tried saving the channels as favorites, but these got erased also when doing a new scan. So, if you have a TV that can properly store the channels, or just want a remote positioner for that convenience, I think it works very well. If you want to use the position memory function to quickly move from one station to another and your TV can't permanently store the channels, then you will have to scan each time you rotate the antenna. And that doesn't work for me. ... show more

    • Solid, simple, and durable!
Style: Single
Using for 6 meter Moxon and 2 meter Yagi antennas. Works well and withstands Oklahoma storms and the winds sweeping down the plains! Have had up through tornadic storm with 80 mph winds, ice storm, and sustained 50-55mph winds during spring. No damage seen to the braking system and works very well. Much cheaper option than ham rotator and can handle 3 sq ft of antenna well. UPDATE: Have now been through 91mph wind gusts of 4-5 seconds with 15 min of sustained 65-70mph winds and still doing well. Oklahoma is lovely during Spring and early summer:) My rotator is mounted on a well guyed aluminum flag pole of 26’ above ground and 30” below ground in concrete. This has been my 6m/2m mast for 2 years now and through countless storms. Everything works well. I do annual maintenance checks on the system and tighten, reseal, etc. I remain happy with this system.. UPDATE Mar 2023: Changed antennas to an Eantenna 2850 6m/10m Moxon and a Create 108-1300MHz Log Periodic just over 1 year ago. The RCA rotor is handling the heavier load and increased wind load very well. No issues at all, despite severe storms with 70-80mph wind gusts and hours of steady 30 mph Oklahoma winds with frequent gusts up to 50 mph. For the techies, my total antenna & mast weight is 9.6 kg and the wind load is 0.21 m sq. My other RCA rotator system for my LEO VU satellite array is also holding up equally well. These rotators have been a very cost-effective investment for my ham station and should handle just about any residential TV antenna on the market. ... show more
