RTC-200 interface for Yaesu rotators + FULL KIT with 2 dedicated cables
The RTC-200 is a compact interface for connecting compatible Yaesu rotators to a computer.
You can use all Yaesu rotators with a 6-pin MiniDIN 'Ext' using the supplied cable, and for SAT rotators, the appropriate DIN-8 cable is required.
The RTC-200 simultaneously offers connections to two rotators to support satellite antenna systems with azimuth and elevation motors. The interface connects to the computer via the USB port, and a connection cable is included.
The RTC-200 interface uses the Yaesu rotator control protocol, just like Yaesu's GS-232A / GS-232B interface. This makes this interface compatible with almost all rotator control programs on the market. The interface requires an 8 to 15 V DC power supply, and the cable is also included.
For installation, you need to download a driver from the manufacturer's website. This download also includes a small rotator control application (for Windows only). Download address: www.cgantenna.be/rtc200/RTC200.zip

- All other models with an 'Ext. Control' socket
What if my rotator does not have the "Ext.Control" socket?
In the "Ext. Control" socket of a Yaesu rotator (except G-5500) there are simply the signals for the three buttons 'rotate left', 'rotate right' and (if available) 'brake release', as well as the analog 'direction' signal and, of course, 'ground'. Such a socket could be "invented" relatively easily for other rotators, even those from other manufacturers.
