Outdoor Antenna Rotator Review

Bought a RadioShack antenna rotator in September (2008) as part of a digital / HD TV upgrade project (new antenna; new mast).The rotator worked fine for 74 days, then it froze.

Climbed on the roof, opened the hatch on the bottom of the motor unit, and found a puddle of water - dried the inside of the motor housing, added some dry waterproofing spray, and it worked fine again.... for another 5 days.

First hard freeze of the winter and the rotator is again not operating.Risked life and limb to climb up the snowy roof, and found frozen water in the motor housing.These things are supposed to be designed for outdoor use - obviously, they are defective by design if water can get into the motor unit.

RadioShack rotators used to last 10 or 20 years or more.They have obviously cheapened the materials being used in them today - there's lot's of reviews of this product on the Internet, with complaints about the rotator failing in less than a year.

Save your money - buy a ChannelMaster or other quality antenna rotator.The rotator RadioShack is currently selling us a total piece of junk !
