My Yaesu G-800SDX Controller has quit indicating rotation. It will still
turn my antennas - if I use the azimuth dial and preset button to move to a
specific direction.
Steps I have done:
1. I took the face off the indicator and made sure that the pointer was
firmly on the spindle - it was.
2. I climbed the tower and made sure that the cable looked good and there
was a good mechanical connection at the cable to rotator.
3. I made sure that it would point correctly using the azimuth and preset
controls.
Does anyone had a similar problem? My gut reaction is to open it up and see
if anything looks out of sorts - and if I can't fix it send it in to
rotordoc or someplace and see if they can fix it. BUT, if anyone has a fix
in mind, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks!
Randy
