Wellbrook ALA1530LNP antenna rotator suggestions

lolbananalol2 · Oct 4, 2017

Hey everyone

What would be a good rotator that would work with the Wellbrook ALA1530LNP? I would like it to be something that can be Remote controlled but isn’t too expensive since the antenna Costs a lot to begin with.

Thanks for any suggestions

If you are ground mounting it (and I've seen pix of many such installations), I would think any light duty TV rotor would do, as the wind load on these loops is very small...Mike

+1 on Mike's post. I've had my Antennacraft rotator for a few years now and it has been perfect so far. Any one of the ones at amazon will be fine. Don't forget to order a proper swing mast maybe 3-5' and the rotator cable-you'll find those in the "frequently bought together..." link below the product descriptions.

Although this is a Pixel magloop, the theory is the same. Dish Network J-pole mount from Ebay/Amazon and the rotor. Makes all the difference for my listening. Actually, my Wellbrook is in use on this at this time.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Would something like this be okay for a mounting solution?

Will the Channel Master 9521A work outside the US?

If you can supply 117v at 60hz (you can find the spec sheet on the web - do a Google search), probably. I have no idea of power requirements in Australia...Mike

We use 240 volts.

Get a stepdown converter then.
