I have acquired a Yaesu G800s that I have been told has a problem with showing the actual position. The original owner knew how long it took to rotate and occasionally stepped outside to verify that

Before you open the rotor check the resistance of the indicator pot as it rotates from end to end. There are many more problems with Yaesu indicator boxes than with the rotor pot itself. David Robbin

The rotors are just fine, the control box is overly complex in my opinion. Check the dxa series, mine are all the sdx which used a motor driven indicator that turned the full 450 degrees... very pret

Am I making a mistake ?? Not in my experience. I've seen them turn some pretty aggressive loads with no problem. At that point the mechanical failures are more in the mast-to-rotator connection. Chee

Ignore #1 and you'll break the clamp. Ignore #2 and you'll end up with an aluminum housing full of thousands of little bits and pieces. 73, Blake N4GI _______________________________________________

I just installed a Yaesu G-1000DXA rotor on my tower and the instructions specifically said to pin the mast to the rotor. They even supplied the bolt. John KE7JGB ____________________________________

Ive always pinned my Yaesu G-1000SDX - it's handled 125 mph gusts in Alaska with lots of snow and ice, and here in CO, it's seen 90 mph gusts that blew out the windows on the front of our home. Good

FWIW - flyer in the manual (titled "Mast Bracket Assembly & Antenna Positioning") says to "drill a 9mm hole through the mast to accomodate(sic) an anti-twist support bolt..." --sas -- -- N9LJX radio.

The simpler test is to put the ohm meter on the terminals at the rotor and turn it with a 12v power supply or battery. I have done it with a 9v electric drill battery up the tower when I needed to do

With the rotor attached to the controller it turns fine, full rotation and stops where it should, but there is NO movement on the indicator. When unplugged from the rotor there is no NO movement on t

Another option is to get a controller board that gives you computer control of the rotor. They are relatively inexpensive compared to repair costs. I have a G800S with an inoperable control box but t
