My Orion 2800 rotor has developed a tendency to not rotate during
contests.....

According to the "supplemental information pertaining to M2 products"
posted on M2 website:

"Why doesn't the RC2800 control unit get pulses?"
2.  No 11.4 VDC is present between terminal 5 and 6 on the back panel
(tested with the wire on terminal 5 removed).  If no voltage is
found call M2 for further instructions.

Its after hours at the moment....

I read 4.95 VDC between the terminals.  Tonight it turns most
of the time, but not always.  Does anyone have experience on
this point?  Other in-shack measurements, such as round-trip
resistance and motor pulsing are ok.
