How do you attach a coax cable to an antenna on a rotor so it doesnt become wrapped up around the antenna pole when it turns?
Thanks

It has been a very long time since I've used a rotor. I 'believe' that the rotor won't turn a complete 360. There are stops. Just have a small amount of 'slack' in the line.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Kevin?

tstatguy112,

I just finished mounting my antenna the other day. I have a RS antenna and an RS rotor. The RS rotor can do a 360 degrees full turn, clock wise and counter clockwise. And yes, it does stop. Your won't be able to move your tuner more than 360 clockwise, or else you'll break it. What you'll have to do is rotate it back(counter clockwise). Regard the cable, just estimate enough length for the wire to follow your antenna when it rotates and you should be fine. Hope this helps.
