Ill be ordering a Ciro baby loop in the next couple of weeks and wish to have it mounted on a rotator . I have no idea which one to go for & what ill need . It doesn't have to be a heavy duty one as the base of the antenna will only be 2m above ground . Any suggestions would be appreciated .
Regards
Rotator ?

Re: Rotator ?
AR-303 should do.

Re: Rotator ?
I have the Channel Master version that I use with my Wellbrook receiving loop. It's been in use here for years without a single glitch. Just make sure you pay attention to the cable entry and waterproof it accordingly.

Re: Rotator ?
Mine is nearly 15 years old and not sure if the exact model is available. I purchased mine from a TV/SAT company (no longer in business) but you might try looking on some of the TV/SAT websites.
The Hygain AR-303 might have been discontinued but there's a few other rotators to consider, such as the AR-40 or AR-500. Yaesu used to sell a G-250 as their entry level rotator. Most of the radio dealers tend to stock the Yaesu 450 as the entry level rotator but it's not cheap & way more than you need.
