[Moon] [Moon-Net] What rotator accuracy is required.

[Serge Szpilfogel]

Ross if it is for 144mhz & taking into account the number of antennas you
have I would not worry about
Great accuracy. Here I have 4X17 & I can put up with 4 to 6 degrees off. The
more antennas you have the greatest accuracy is required of course. I have a
Spid rotor with the same problem. What I do is calibrate the rotor before
going on the moon. Now if it is a dish then I have no idea.
Good luck & happy new year

Hi I have a question regarding what pointing accuracy is required for EME?
I have a Big Spid RAS with 0.5 degree accuracy and a Spid RAS HR with .1
degree.
However I am not really happy with the Spid HR as it loses it calibration
very frequently.
So I am looking to replace it with another Big Spd RAS, so is 0.5 accuracy
sufficient  or should I use an HR model.

Comments please.

Best wishes to all lunatics for 2019
