Another example is our simple case. It is made of standard 3" PVC pipe. This is exceptionally strong, completely marinized and makes it easy to provide a custom "pole mount" using 4" PVC pipe that fits into the bottom 4" PVC coupling of the unit. Or you can use our standard mounting hardware that comes with the unit to install on any railing or any vertical aluminum or SS pole.
For example, a simple 50-cent cord is our limit switch. It saves you about $200 of extra costs for internal limit switches, electronics and liquid crystal displays. Yet, it serves the function of stopping an excessive turn and notifying you of an approaching limit. You use a simple button press to unwind.
We have been ruthless in putting all our costs into only those components that are critical to tracking. We've used the strongest stepper motor and gear case with the most precise, reliable digital electronic compass. We left out everything that smacked of unnecessary "gold-plating", but put everything in that would get accurate satellite tracking.
We wanted our tracking system to deliver accurate tracking and be lowest price.
When wind and seas increase to uncomfortable levels, your TV screen may start freezing periodically, at some point you reach level where you probably will pay more attention to your boat than TV!
Track It TV? is designed to handle typical conditions in protected waters -- elevation is set manually while tracking is done in two (2) dimensions (azimuth) to counter the turning of the boat. It meets the objective of tracking in relatively calm seas, even if the boat is swinging wildly due to wind or current.
We call Track It TV? the "10-90" system. Track It TV? has 90% of the utility of expensive systems for as little as 10% of the cost. Install it on your boat rail or elsewhere in a few minutes!
