ERC-DUO was designed especially for the Yaesu DXA/DXC-series of azimuth rotators and Yaesu/Kenpro G/KR-5x00 series of azimuth & elevation rotators.   Only sold as an assembled unit and in an aluminum enclosure.  For Yaesu DXA and DXC series rotators, connection is via an included 6 pin DIN cable to the rotator control box.  Yaesu/Kenpro G/KR-5x00 series rotators use an optional 8 pin DIN cable.

This unit has the same functionality for Yaesu G800DXA/G1000DXA/G2800DXA and DXC rotators as the now-discontinued MINI DX product.

Included with the ERC-DUO:

• Ready assembled and tested ERC-DUO with USB-interface in an aluminum enclosure
• Mini 6 pin DIN cable for connection to the DXA/DXC control box
• USB cable
• Service-Tool (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32 and 64bit) for configuration and calibration.
• Rotor-Control Software (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11 32 and 64bit)
