I am using DiSEQc HH rotors to move amateur radio antennas and I have a few (non-standard!) technical questions:
- Does anyone know of any straight (non-bent) axis pipes? I want to use the rotors in AZ-EL mode and the offset makes some problems.
- Does Sadoun offer the Eagle-Aspen 540 degree DiSEQc azimuth rotor similar to this one (or some similar unit)?
- Does anyone know of PC-based hardware/software to generate arbitrary DiSEQc commands?
You might be interested in the use of HH rotors to control a small educational radiotelescope implemented by a colleague of mine:

The photos in this memo illustrate quite graphically why I want to find some straight (non-bent!) axis shafts. Some of my work is described
in this presentation I gave a few months ago.
Thanks, Tom Clark, K3IO
