Digital camera reviews of PCT International 9521 Channel Master Antenna Rotor Remote Control System
Digital camera Review: A Risky Investment
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the 9521A back in August of 2008 from on online TV Antenna distributor/dealership. Along with the rotor, I purchased a 50' mast and a new Winegard antenna, both of which were replacing a dated rooftop antenna and short, 20' mast.
The unit was DOA (almost). Like others have reported in their comments, my unit managed one partial rotation (to 360 degrees) and stuck! That was it. I'd had it mounted on the mast and fortunately, I'd tested it before raising it up the remaining 40 feet and completing all the guy wiring.
A call to Channel Master brought about a very surprising suggestion from the head of service and tech at Channel Master (Ron's his name); "bang on it" he said, "real hard" and to see if that might fix it. Say what@#!??!! Yeah okay... I'll just spank this expensive item I just bought and see if it just might come back to life, right. A couple of moderate taps on the housing did nothing. By the way, as was also mentioned in another post, the unit was receiving power as the hum of the motor could be heard, it just wasn't turning. When I'd called Ron back, he'd informed me that it's defective and I should return it for a replacement. What he didn't mention was the fact that it's a significant quality/build issue with that model and that they (Channel Master) were having to service many failed units with the same issue. To Ron's credit, he did allow me to return it and subsequently sent back one that he said he'd personally tested. Guess who paid shipping return shipping? (Hint: Not Channel Master). In hindsight, I should have returned the unit to Solid Signal, the online company I'd purchased it from.
Bottom line, the new one works for now but I have zero confidence it will prove to be reliable in the long term. I most definitely would NEVER BUY AGAIN. Channel Master was once a reliable, reputable and quality manufacturer. Since they outsourced manufacturing and who knows what else to China, it's been a different story. My advice? Stay away from this rotor.
