- Does anyone have any experience with long runs of rotor cable for a Yaesu G-1000? I'm planning for a run of 400' and I'm thinking that maybe too long, even using the heavier cable. 73, Larry K4AB ___

- FWIW, I used 450 feet on a KenPro KR2000 (KenPro sold their rotator line to Yaesu and the KR2000 is the same as G2800(?)) for years without problems. I used the stuff with a pair of #14 conductors. 7

- Yes. Ohm's law still works. :) I have a long run to a Yaesu rotor (about 350 ft) that is #14 house wire for the pair that runs the motor, and smaller conductors for the position sensing resistor. 73,

- It should be very possible if you are willing to invest in a little copper. I have a number of rotators (no Yaesu G-1000) with longer than 400' cable lengths and they work fine. John KK9A To: "Tower

- Larry K4AB asks: I've never had a problem with my Yaesu G-1000. It was fed through a 435' foot run using a mix of two-strands-in-paralleled of #18, single #18, and #12 wire. It's a bit complex becaus

- You can figure this out. The G-1000 specs 125' maximum runs of #20 wire. #20 is 1.015 ohms/100 ft. That leaves you with a max resistance budget of 1.26875 ohms for 125' of #20. If you use #18 with a
