The actuator can then swing the array E-W. The attached photo is an example of how the mount was used in the C-band antenna days.

Can you supply a better photo of the mount? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Set the elevation angle to latitude for best all year performance. Elevation can also be seasonally adjusted for more gain. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">There are 3 types of sensors most commonly used in this style of linear actuator. Hall effect, reed switch or a 10 turn potentiometer. </div><div class=""><div class="">
