I don't know - BUT - wouldn't you install a motor to turn the antenna so

it
could be adjusted to several signal sources?


That would really depend on where you are located. For many people, there

is
little or no advantage to a rotator.


My folks live in New Jersey between New York and Philadelphia. The antenna
with rotor worked ok for one TV, but if more than one (split to the same
antenna) was in use, there was a problem if all parties didn't agree on the
broadcast city! Their fix was to eliminate the rotor and mount two
antennas, one pointing towards the NYC towers and the other towards the
Philly stations. These were both split and cabled to each TV, where they
have been attached with an a/b box. Where useful, the a/b box has a remote.
