I just wanted to post a follow up to this incident, where the downward facing stock Yaesu bolts securing the G-1000DXA fell to ground. I took several steps to avoid repeating this near disaster and v
Jim, Before you do the install with the GC-038, you might want to read this thread and follow-up http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Towertalk/2011-12/msg00666.html http://lists.contesting.com
FWIW, the aluminum wire used was 1/16in diam which is close to 14AWG Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list
Without warning, my 1-year old Yaesu G-1000DXA rotor stopped functioning. The control box light is on, but no response to the "left" or "right" switches and the rotor itself isn't turning. By any cha
Thanks for all the helpful responses. It looks like there's a total disconnect in the cable out to the rotor. Next step will be to drop the AB577 and have a look at the rotor end. 73, Barry N1EU ____
I'd appreciate any troubleshooting tips for a suddenly non-turning G-1000DXA rotor. Cable continuity checks good, reading 500 ohms across the pot and 64 ohms across the motor back at the controller c
The fuse is fine. There's a faint "burnt" odor inside the controller. Transformer secondary voltages look good. 1. Does anyone have a legible copy of the schematic? Yaesu's PDF version is illegible a
I inspected the PSU PCB and see what might be a toasted SM transistor. Photo (limited by camera's macro capability): http://tinyurl.com/8cggxs9 But still hamstrung without a legible schematic. Thanks
I'm all set with a schematic, thanks to K1LI. It looks like the obviously toasted transistor is Q1027 on the PS-Unit. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ __________________
I need to come up with some dimensions for 2-element yagis for 20-10M. I wish to maximize ability to hear weak signals. Does that mean optimizing f/b ratio, rather than gain? This will be assembled f
Thanks for the many helpful responses, on and off list. I will design for maximum grain. Boom length for a 2-element does not seem that critical. 73, Barry N1EU ______________________________________
I need one side (one half) of the mast adapter (upper) for a Yaesu G-800 or G-1000 rotor. This is the piece that clamps around the mast and bolts to the top of the rotor housing. Yaesu parts will onl
