## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, i have a hexbeam antenna for hf. it weighs about 9kg/ over 25 pounds. will this rotator work for my antenna?**
A: I contacted Voxx International (known as Audiovox until 2012), the licensee of the RCA trade name for consumer electronics products, and they told me the VH226E antenna rotator will support antennas up to 75 pounds in weight.

**Q: What is the Max weight of the array this rotator will turn? How much wind load is permissable?**
A: The Motor and Gear of VH226F can survive max torque 300 lb. inch at the vertical loading position (rotator turning), and  max torque 210 lb. inch at the horizontal position (wind blowing).

**Q: Does this rotator have steel thrust bearings and a disk brake similar to the channel master cm9521a?**
A: The RCA unit doesn't have a break.    Also, the top clamps to hold the mast are cheap.  (They don't hold the mast from turning.)    I drilled through the clamp and mast pole to install a bolt.
Still in high wides, 25-30 MPH the antenna still rotates.    VHF/UHF 110" antenna

**Q: What size maximum  diameter  mast will this mount on?**
A: The drive unit is designed for 1.25" diameter mast, but will accommodate up to a 2" diameter support mast. Note:The manual states to use no more than 3 feet of antenna mast between the rotor and the antenna itself to reduce wind and weight load. The unit is built very well and seems to work well with a 6 ft. 1.50" aluminum mast in my installation with a 2 meter beam and vertical antenna installed on it!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, simple, and durable!
*by C***M on April 16, 2018*

Using for 6 meter Moxon and 2 meter Yagi antennas. Works well and withstands Oklahoma storms and the winds sweeping down the plains! Have had up through tornadic storm with 80 mph winds, ice storm, and sustained 50-55mph winds during spring. No damage seen to the braking system and works very well. Much cheaper option than ham rotator and can handle 3 sq ft of antenna well.UPDATE: Have now been through 91mph wind gusts of 4-5 seconds with 15 min of sustained 65-70mph winds and still doing well. Oklahoma is lovely during Spring and early summer:) My rotator is mounted on a well guyed aluminum flag pole of 26’ above ground and 30” below ground in concrete. This has been my 6m/2m mast for 2 years now and through countless storms. Everything works well. I do annual maintenance checks on the system and tighten, reseal, etc. I remain happy with this system..UPDATE Mar 2023: Changed antennas to an Eantenna 2850 6m/10m Moxon and a Create 108-1300MHz Log Periodic just over 1 year ago. The RCA rotor is handling the heavier load and increased wind load very well. No issues at all, despite severe storms with 70-80mph wind gusts and hours of steady 30 mph Oklahoma winds with frequent gusts up to 50 mph. For the techies, my total antenna & mast weight is 9.6 kg and the wind load is 0.21 m sq. My other RCA rotator system for my LEO VU satellite array is also holding up equally well. These rotators have been a very cost-effective investment for my ham station and should handle just about any residential TV antenna on the market.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An easy to install unit that works well and runs quietly
*by A***Y on May 31, 2021*

This is a good unit for a small lightweight rotor. It is being used to turn a vertical receiving loop and it is working well. I was surprised to hear how quiet it is when rotating. The control box only shows direction in degrees / 10, so for instance a reading of 12 on the controller means 120 degrees. I also had to enlarge the opening for my rotor control cable which is flat instead of round - possibly round cable would not have presented any issues. But those are small nits for what is a very nice rotor for the price. As long as you don't overload it with an antenna that is too large, and pay attention to getting the control cable wiring to match between the 3 connections on both ends, you should have no issues at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great update from my  older rotor controller.
*by S***T on August 13, 2024*

My older controller had the simple dial control, this one has a remote and is programable. I did not replace it for this feature but was happy about it. I replaced it because my old rotor would not hold my antenna in the position I selected, the wind would move it. This new controller works perfect and holds my giant antenna where I point it. Read the instructions for setting it up, you have to initialize it, and calibrate it before you can use it. I use this rotor to control my DXing antenna. So I can set button A for Detroit, B for Lansing, C for Flint etc... really handy.
