Hi Peter, I use a stepper motor drive system on my 2.5 m dish. I replaced the original motor in a very sick KR400 rotator with a stepper
from a large printer. The gearing in the rotator is enough that the stepper is not stressed to much and takes about a minute for 180 deg
of rotation. The original idea came from Russel VK3ZQB in a Gippstech presentation some years ago. food for thought.
