High Quality Product Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
The stepper controller is being used to control the stepper motor to tune the vacuum variable capacitor in my home brew magnetic loop antenna. The operation is very reliable and offers great flexibility of configuration.

The unit basically counts motor steps and repeatability is very accurate. High quality metal case.

It can control two stepper motors. My applications only use one side. A lot of through was put into the design of the controller.

Interface with the Elecraft W2 directional couple will permit auto tune. I am just beginning to explore this feature.

Gary, K7EMF spent about half an hour on phone with me discussing my antenna projects and was a wealth of information. Gary obviously cares about the quality of his service.
