- I thank all who had suggestions in regard to the control box tracking for a Yaesu 2800 rotator. After several discussions with Yaesu, it turns out that there is a sensitive adjustment procedure for '

- Greetings, TowerTalkians -- I've got a question on the NEW Yaesu rotators. About a year ago or so they changed some of the rotator design to include DC motors and they went from a 5-wire control to 6

- I don't think so. I have noticed this phenomenon with my new-style G-800SA as well. Tentatively, I think it may have to do with imperfect contact in the plugs I use to disconnect for lightning protec

- Hmmm... do you have any connectors in the line between the back of the controller and your rotator (other than the factory ones? My suspicion has been that my Cinch-Jones plugs are the source of the

- A couple of years ago I had a problem with my 800SDX.. Seemed that 2 M traffic on my cluster tranceiver caused the indicator to read up to 30 deg off when my node was transmitting. That was fixed by

- The 2800 rotator controller circuit is, to be polite, a kludge. Besides serving as reference library for bad logic design, slight bends in the dial pointer assembly's electromechanical sensors can ca

- It is, however, important to note that the "A" series control boxes -- the ones that use 6 wires rather than 5 -- are entirely different inside and much simpler. Still no free RS-232 interface though

- There are no connections in the line between the control box and the rotator. With the 2800, Yaesu supplies a 100' cable with connectors. We used the existing connector at the rotator (which was used

- If this rotor is anything like some of the JA-made rotors I've seen in the past - where a comparotor looks at the indicator pot & then drives a motor in the control box to move the indicator - a prev
