And not incidentally, the DC motors in later Yaesus are essentially fail-safe. My G-800SA has a locking rocker switcxh for controlling the direction of turn, and I have occasionally left it driving the rotator against one or the other stop literally for days, with no harm to anything but my ego.

Tom,

That will not work.
The G-450 is an AC motor, the G-800 is DC.

I don't have the schematics or data available but am curious if a Yaesu G-800 controller will control a Yaesu G-450 rotor.
