[amsat-bb] Portable Rotation 12PRSAT

I'm fairly new to operating satellites, but I am ready for something more
automated than waving my Arrow antenna around in the air manually. I have
an IC-9700 radio mounted in a portable rack case and a 20Ah LiFePO4 battery
pack. My satellite operation will be almost exclusively portable, hence the
desire for a 12v Az-El rotator. I will start with my Arrow antenna mounted
at 45 degrees and accept the fades.

I've noticed discrepancies and typos in the manuals and it makes me wonder
about the overall quality of the product. Can anyone provide their feedback
on the Portable Rotation 12PRSAT product?

Thanks!
