MDS-HAM is happy to announce its first product the RC- 1 Rotor control, designed to save the amateur radio operator money, and give them computer control of many rotor systems. Our new Digital Control Box RC1-Y will work as a direct replacement for the Yaesu Series G-800, G-800DXA, G-800SA, G-1000DXA, G2800DXA control box, with digital display and computer control. The RC1-G is for the Yaesu G-450A, and G650 Rotor
We also have a model of the Digital Control Box RC1-H for the Ham II, IV, T2X, CDE, HyGain, and many other common antenna rotators.
We have a model of the Digital Control Box RC1-E for the Emotator Series. They have 600 ohm potentiometers, but are, otherwise, similar to the Yaesu DC rotators like the G-1000.
We are introducing a model of the Digital Control Box RC1-P for the Alpha Spid or Orion pulse-type rotator. This model is NEW!
This product works well with many Amateur Radio logbook programs and dx cluster monitoring software. Pointing your beam to that rare dx is a mouse click away. Virtually all these programs support the DCU1 protocol, which is what we use.
As mentioned on our main page.
Two 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.
Other products being considered:
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 has work been done on a Beverage Receive Antenna remote switch
