Are you having problems positioning your YAGI antenna? Or maybe you are looking to buy a YAGI or beam antenna in order to boost your signal?
A YAGI is a directional antenna that can help focus a signal and give the user more signal gain. However, directional antennas need to be positioned and pointed in a particular direction mechanically and held in place during a contact to keep a communications link working. This is where a rotator comes in because you can direct your antenna from the comfort of your shack.
The Sharman Multicom AR-600XL is an antenna rotator with precisely that purpose in mind. With a base control unit and infrared remote control, it's straightforward to use, while its rugged aluminum housing means you don't need to worry about it in bad weather.

Please note that the Sharman Multicom AR-600XL is unsuitable for HF Yagis, larger VHF beams, or 6m beams.
Please also note that you will need a 3-core rotator cable to connect the power from the control box to the Rotator. You will need to purchase the cable separately.
