Rotators
Rotator Interfaces
Its very likely that if you use azimuth and elevation rotators you will want computer control theirs lots of options for this including Yaesu's expensive offering however theirs some cheaper options including
If you don't mind using a soldering iron, you can build a simple interface using an Arduino see https://blog.radioartisan.com/yaesu-rotator-computer-serial-interface/ for more information.
