Welcome to the MDS website. MDS stands for
Microsystems Design Services, LLC. HOME of the RC1 DIGITAL ROTOR CONTROL BOXSTOCK AVAILABLE NOW FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT
|
![]() |
The RC1-Y is the Yaesu version, which runs off your
station power supply, which means it also can run off emergency battery power. The RC1-G is the Yaesu version for the G450, G650 rotors. The RC1-H is the ham M, II, III, IV, and Tailtwister control box. It is a UPGRADE box, in that you must still use the power (24VAC @5A) from your old control box, or supply your own AC power supply. Please compare similar control boxes at $500 and $550! Our initial price is $250 MSRP. |
Other control boxes such as the Emotator and old Wilson boxes can be adapted, with the latest in digital rotator control. The RC-1 boxes use the DCU-1 protocol, and work well with LP Rotor Software and Ham Radio Deluxe programs.
Our next controller is for your remote antenna switch. The AC-1 will control the Ameritron RCS-8V and RCS-10, or the Heath antenna switches. It has a serial interface that will allow it to 'capture' the polling data from your computer control program like Ham Radio Deluxe. With this band and frequency data, and simple programming by you, the AC-1 will switch your antennas automatically. You can even program two antennas for the same band, like one for 75M (phone portion) and one for 80M (cw portion).
There is also an option to use ACTIVE polling by the AC-1 itself, for those who do not use a remote computer program. You would just plug your serial control port from your rig into the AC-1.
Two more products are planned in early 2008:
An auto-ranging digital wattmeter, no more flipping
range switches for PEP/RMS. Using a graphical LCD, it shows everything you
need automatically.
A simple digital interface for your rig,
incorporating opto-isolation, ferrite RF bypassing and LED's on the front
panel for status. Includes normal digital modes via the soundcard, plus CW,
and FSK via the serial port.
Paypal will be the preferred method of payment online. We will also accept personal checks via mail, or money orders by mail. Shipping costs will be $8.00 We prefer USPS priority mail. The weight is 2 pounds.
