Supported rotator controllers
Web Radio Control uses open-source software called Hamlib for controlling antenna rotators. Hamlib provides support for a wide variety of rotator controllers.
In some cases, Hamlib may not offer support for seldom-used features and control commands or it may be that some less common features may not work correctly.
If you encounter issues controlling your radio, please file a bug report to
Hamlib developers or alternatively to Web Radio Control
developers by sending an email bug report to support (at) webradiocontrol.tech
.

The following rotator controller models have been thoroughly tested with Web Radio Control:
-
Prosistel D (CBOX) + PST-61D (azimuth)
