Dear Ted; Hello again, its Joel... What would you like to know about prop pitch rotators? Since after high school I got into P/P units and started rebuilting them 20 years ago. Still have 4-5 more un
Regardless, nothing like that is available. The system isn't going to fail because the antenna twists the tower enough to make it collapse. If your antenna spins and severs the cables anytime except
I have a M2 Orion 2800, I agree their service is excellent. My newly purchased Orion 2800 had a few problems when I first installed it in the tower, I called M2 on a Saturday and Mike Stahl answered
If the wind is high enough to twist the Tower, I would think everything else would be gone. You are speaking of Tornado type wind. 73 Brad KZ5Q -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.h
Hi All Again Just replaced the 2 resistors in the control box of the g800 AGAIN, this time with 120 ohm 2 watters, if they go I am going to chuck this piece of s__t out the door & put up the ham 4. M
Mark, I find it hard to believe, as we have sold these for 2 years and not experienced these problems. Why don't you talk to Yaesu tech support and try and figure out what is causing these resistors
You'd be better off taking a breath of fresh air and finding out what OUTSIDE the control box is making it fail. The most common cause of problems is RF getting into the rotor cable. Most common is
Wow, after reading all of these issues with the Yaesu rotor, I must be the 1 in a million lucky one. About 2 1/2-3 yrs ago, I purchased a G-1000SDX Yaesu Rotor from Okla. Comm. Center. It is mounted
It seems like most of the posts about Yaesu rotator problems had to do with the G-800. The comments about other (and bigger) Yaesus seem to be better. I usually figure the service life of a rotator i
I am running 160 watts on 2 meters & 25 watts on 432, both tx lines are hardline. The rotor cable comes down the inside of the tower, is tied off to the tower leg every couple of feet, from there it
Mark, those resistors serve no other purpose than to provide current limiting for Q1 and Q2, which drive the slow speed motor for direction control. These transistors are small signal to92 type rated
Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth, with all the negative comments about the Yaesu G-800S... I've owned one for several years now and have never had any problems with either the rotator or the
Having repaired the G-400 control box several times for a friend, here are my comments (and some current measurements)... R1 and R2 are 120 ohm .5 watt. The motor draws about 40 ma when working (no b
you aren't the only lucky one, i have 4 of them here. a g-1000sdx, a g-2700sdx, and 2 g-2800sdx's. the rotors themselves have performed flawlessly, even with heavy ice and winds. the 2700 is turning
Thank you Richard and all others that responded to my request for input on in service reports on YAESU 800 series of rotors . The one important factor I seem to have derived from all the data is that
Hi Bill , I also have a FT1000D and have had to return it once to YAESU for repairs and like you had excellent service which I was more than satisfied ,but the with reference to my G-800SDX that is a
