Doug,
My SDX1000 control box was sent in to Yaesu for evaluation, due to a
lightning strike...the control box would read 45 degrees while the rotator
had turned 450...Yaesu said it would cost more to repair the box than it was
worth....

>The two damaged control boxes read out 1/2 the actual azimuth, ie. when
the

etc.

> Thank you for any assistance.
