ERC-V4 USB Assembled
I purchased two of these little beauties one for myself and the other for my father. I am definetly no electronics expert but these are well constructed and the relays have some weight to them suggesting good quality. The information to connect my Rotator was easily found on line and without any electronics backgroung easy to follow. Just follow the numbering. Both my father and I use thetis and PST rotator and the ERC-V4 will compliment it perfectly for rotator control with Cluster-TCI. I almost forgot Steve is excelent to communicate with and the service spot on, totaly recommend ComTek Radio for any of your communication needs. Try them you will be happy you did.
