Just days to go before one of my favorite contests and my Yaesu G-800SDX
rotator control box decided to say..."Oh no you don't"
The 2 amp fuse blows instantly (as it should when there is a problem) when
the power is applied. It does it with the rotor cable removed so it
appears to be in the box.
Does anyone have any experience repairing these devices. My eyesight no
longer allows me to work on such small stuff.
My options are
1. Get this one repaired in less than a week.
2. Find a loaner until this one can be repaired
3. Find someone that can climb up and replace my Yaesu with my HD-73 spare.
4. Buy a G-800SDX control box at a very cheap price.
ORRRRRRRRRRR
5. Operate the entire contest with the antenna pointed to EU...yeah i know
it could be pointed to the South Pacific.
Any help out there any where?
