Sorry for the strange ending, customer turned up to pick up 10 boxes packed with radios, I need a holiday after lifting and packing so much stuff😂😂😂😂

That rotator is infamous for getting water leaking in via the shaft and rusting out the bearing. How I do I know? I had one. The factory has no fix to stop water leaking in via the shaft and rusting the guts out. It would really need to be pulled apart to do an internal check for the corrosion issue. It is not the only rotator that has this issue. The M2 Square rotator has that same issue. All these industrial motors were not designed to sit up vertically hence they pay very little attention to putting in shaft seals. You will have the same issue with Prop pitch motors.

Hi Chuck, I will definitely keep an eye on the experience you have had, I remember in the very early models hearing of this but I've been a big customer of prosistel for many years and have 3 in service with absolutely no probs for over 12 years. I actually had to pull one down to check it some time back and we replaced the 10kohm pot but not a sign of water getting in anywhere but that is one I bought around 2009. Possibly units made before had issues, but we bought 3 units in 2009 and working beautifully in 2024. I also bought the big 50kg pst110d and that is in service and working beautifully. I appreciate your experience for sure, Im definitely not doubting what happened, just not been our experience. Cheers Brenton vk3cm

Was the M2 similar to the heavy duty ultrabeam rotator that was produced for a few years, we also have one of these that's been in service for around 12 years?
