Dave,
FWIW, my G-800 made the same sound before I mounted it. I can't remember the
azimuth for sure, but I think it was more centered in the range. I called
Yaesu, and they seemed unconcerned, so I mounted it with my fingers crossed.
Anyway, it's been up for 2 1/2 years (lightly loaded) without any gear
trouble.
YMMV,
Chuck, N4NM

Subject: [Towertalk] Yaesu rotor makes odd sound
Still sitting on the desk in my shack is a new Yaesu G-1000DXA rotor. The
control unit is fine, and the rotor turns, but at one spot on the dial (near
330 degrees), it sounds like it is slowing down and/or struggling or
pulsing.
Before putting this on the tower, I'd like to make sure it is OK (or not).
I made an 8 second (176k) .wav recording of it -- go to
www.geocities.com/cics16/rotor.html .
Any comments appreciated!
