Need a decent Rotator for OTA

[bsr2002]

Any suggestions?

Try Radio Shack, they have one for $74.99. http://www.radioshack.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5F001%5F003%5F006&Page=1

Do I need to buy those other accessories or can I get by with just the Rotator for awhile?

I believe everything you need should be there...except the cable looks like it is seperate... I had something similar on my First BUD to switch LNA polaritys...

The rotor and rotor cable are usually all you need unless you're in a real windy area and have a very large combination UHF-VHF antenna.

I am using a CM-4228

Get a CM 9521 it has the remote

You can get the channel master rotator from www.solidsignal.com . Its the same rotator as the one that Radio Shack has, but it comes with a remote control and is much cheaper. The RS one comes with a dial controller. I got that, but wish that I had the CM one instead. oh well.

I have been buying from solidsignal as well, and I give them two thumbs up. They are first rate. Also, I have the Channel master CM-4228 from them, and after i tried it, I rolled back to the CM-4221. The 4221 has a wider beam width, and less gain. The higher gain of the CM-4228 did nothing to improve digital channels, they always worked great, but I was attempting to improve my analog channels, and the 4228 caused ghosting on ABC. I could not get rid of the ghosting, so I went back to the CM-4221, and it works great. I put a Channel Master amplifier with FM trap on my Cm-4221, and I run the signal through splitters all through the house. Using a rotator on a wide angled antenna like a bow-tie 4221, or 4228 is not really needed in most cases for HDTV, but analog might call for it in some circumstances. Joe
