METROPWR RT1 – Remote Antenna Rotator Controller
Your antenna. Your control.
Touchscreen controller for DC motors, with LAN and USB-C connectivity for local and remote antenna operation.
A clear view of your antenna direction
The Metropwr RT1 is a dedicated antenna rotator controller for DC motors, compatible with Yaesu G800DXA, G1000DXA, G2800DXA. Its 7-inch capacitive touchscreen combines a map with a clear, real-time azimuth readout, so you can select your operating direction and follow antenna movement at a glance.
Move to a selected heading, recall your favourite directions or return the antenna to its configured parking position. CW / CCW buttons, rotary encoder, STOP and PARK provide convenient access to the commands you use most, whether you operate from the shack or through compatible remote software.
Every command at your fingertips
- 7-inch high-resolution capacitive touchscreen.
- Real-time azimuth indication and map display.
- Automatic positioning to your selected heading.
- Preset positions and PARK function.
- Manual CW / CCW buttons and encoder control.
- STOP command and on-screen antenna switch status.
Smooth start. Controlled arrival.
The RT1 controls DC motors with a gradual startup ramp, progressively increasing motor drive at the start of rotation. Select a target azimuth and let automatic positioning guide the antenna to the requested heading, with direction feedback visible on the touchscreen throughout the movement.
Local or remote, always in control
Connect the RT1 through LAN or USB-C to integrate antenna control into your station workflow. Support for Metropwr software, PSTrotator and up to four simultaneous clients allows you to manage direction from compatible connected devices while retaining a clear view of antenna position.
A compatible iOS app extends control to mobile devices. Remote Internet operation requires an appropriately configured station network and compatible software.
Rotator and antenna switching together
Designed for DC motors, the RT1 supports Yaesu G800DXA, G1000DXA, G2800DXA rotators. It also manages up to two optional ZX7 1×4 antenna switches, bringing direction control and antenna selection together in one interface.
Control antenna switching directly from the touchscreen and view SWA / SWB positions in the same interface.
