I think that din plug was for a computer interface which was sold by
Yaesu as an optional extra. I think it was quite expensive as well.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Yaesy elevation rotator

I'm about to install a G-5500 elevation rotor, which I have used in the
past, with good luck except for the small analog meter-readout.

The meter is (with my eyes) difficult to read accurately, and is
calibrated in 7.5 degree increments.

There is a DIN socket on the back of the controller which is labeled
"External Control", but not a mention of that in the manual.

I Googled the subject, and got about a million hits, but nothing that I
could use.

Anyone aware of how to externally control this unit?  Or, at least, use
a large digital readout?
