Re: Loop rotor


 

I have the predecessor unit and it is just a two winding capacitor (direction) induction motor with a gear train. The digital display seems to be counting AC cycles. A strong wind (or in my case power mains failure) can push a 12' yagi out of alignment. In short it is not like a CDR type with an internal wire wound resistor measuring direction.

Sort of a shame the WW2 400 Hz selsyns are no longer "inexpensive" although a PM magnet, an Arduino flux compass, and some hot glue will probably replace a selsyn and all the analog hardware to remotely read out azimuth position in degrees.
