Good Value But Very Picky About Ground Noise Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
First of all, very good support. The people worked very hard to resolve my problems, and while they isolated it, there was no easy cure.

This USB control works as it should and integrates well with my other software, but...it is extremely picky about noise or ground loops. I was never able to get it to work ACCURATELY. It was always drifting around +/- as much as 15 degrees.

As I found out, there is no need for this interface to be this picky. I purchased a Vibroplex Easy Rotor Control ERC Mini-DXA and using the exact same setup, there was no bouncing around of the displayed heading. The maximum "jitter" of the display is only 1 degree...and when turning, it always finished precisely where it should.

The DigiMaster would be off as much as 15 to 20 degrees when I rotated CCW then CW to the same heading.

As the review is rated "Needs Help".

Your mileage may vary, and I hope it does, becausethe DigiMaster is constructed very well and as I said, the manufacturer could not have been more helpful

...and before someone suggests it, no...the cables were not bad...they were all replaced, including one directly from the manufacturer and these efforts did not solve the issue.
