...well I've bought 3 RS rotors in the last 5 years
and they have all failed. I'am using a very light
2 meter 5 element beam ant. seems like some kind
of mechanical failure..the darn things will freeze
in one dir.and will only budge mabe a 1/2 inch when
I try to turn them..the things are crimped closed
with no exposed hrdware to disasemble for inspection
and repair..I won't buy any more of the things and
will buy a good Yasu rotor next time..but has anybody
got any idea why/what's going on here?? 3 in 5 years
seems like a high failure rate...

Yeh, the problem is they are made in China. Cheap
Chinese things arent worth the money.

Didn't we used to say that about things
made in Japan? If you are a "Back to the
Future" fan, you may recall Doc (1950s at the time)
making a comment to Marty about cheap Japanese electronics.
Marty, being from the 1980s, puzzles at Doc's remark,
and retorts that some of the best stuff now comes
from Japan. Like it or not, the same thing
will happen with China. ...and why shouldn't
it, we're giving them the best American-designed
equipment and software in the world to compete against
us. - Kirt Blattenberger
