[QUOTE="s-band, post: 984757, member: 407744"] I've used light weight cheap azimuth e.g. Yaesu etc. I had a very cheap CDR that lasted years until it stripped its gears and windmilled. It did have a large array on it though. For big arrays they need to be in a tower cage due to the overturning moment if there's a long pole on top. Have a look rotators for ham satellite work from people like Waters & Stanton BM, interesting, I'd not seen that brand. I've asked if the SPID rotators are capable of a 3.8 solid dish but have yet to get a reply. There are some fair sized dishes shown here: [URL='http://www.rfhamdesign.com/products/spid-antenna--rotator/user-pictures/index.php']User Pictures[/URL] Note that the big dishes use counter-balances.
