ERC-Mini DX

Distributor for USA & Canada: VIBROPLEX   

ERC-Mini DX was designed especially for the DXA/DXC-series rotators of Yaesu. It comes ready assembled and tested in an aluminium-enclosure and will be connected to the Yaesu-control-box by a Mini-DIN-cable.

ATTENTION: this product does not fit to the SDX-series of Yaesu/Kenpro. If you have one of those, please choose ERC-Mini SDX.

• Ready assembled and tested ERC-Mini DX with USB-interface in an aluminium-enclosure
• Mini-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)
