The "adjustment" for the overlap light is made by bending the contact
behind the face, on the gear. Lust look at the lamp, and follow the leads.
There is no actual adjustment but you can bend the contact to make it
come on as spec'd. I had to "adjust" mine when i put it into service.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Yaesu G-1000SDX rotator question

>This rotator has 450 degree rotation and an "Overlap" light that
